Adding a .mailmap mapping configuration for contributor's metadata

.mailmap

@@ -0,0 +1,119 @@
+#
+# This is a .mailmap file : see gitmailmap for format specification and documentation.
+#
+# We use this as helper metadata to recognize that sometimes contributors change
+# email addresses, preferred names, or perhaps have had mistakes in their git
+# configuration at the time of contributing a patch and wich to correct them.
+# This can be useful in various ways, such as to allow contributors to let others
+# know their preferred name and contact point should they change in the future.
+#
+# This file is taken into account by various `git log` options; for example use:
+# # git log --mailmap --format="%aN %aE" | sort | uniq
+# to produce a list of contributors which applies the normalization rules from this file;
+# this is also a reasonable strategy to verify effectiveness of updates to this file.
+#
+# # MAINTENANCE
+# Feel free to provide mappings for your own git identifiers, should you wish to
+# update your own preferred name and/or email address.
+# Bear in mind that in doing so, you're making such information public.
+#
+# The team might occasionally try to keep this file up to date, but we won't always
+# have the necessary information to do so.
+# For example, if two records have the same email address we can assume they refer to the
+# same person, and we might be able to guess which name format is preferred, but
+# we might not absolute certainty about the preference.
+# On the other hand, if two records show the same name but different email addresses
+# we won't know for sure if they are not two different persons happening to have the
+# same name; even if they are the same person we wouldn't be able to tell which one
+# is their preferred email address.
+# In particular we would prefer to be cautious to not choose an email address which is
+# potentially no longer in use, so we'd rather keep both records rather than risk
+# no longer being able to get in touch.
+# For all these reasons, please only add a mapping to this file if you are the person
+# affected by the record, or if you know with certainty that the mapping is correct.
+#
+# # IMPORTANT !
+# Do not add personal information here which was not explicitly contributed by the person:
+# you might have got information about a more suitable email address of someone listed here
+# but you can't publish such information here without their permission.
+# We only use this file to re-map, and reorganize information which was already contributed,
+# even if this comes at a potential risk of maintaining information which is no longer
+# accurate.
+# This also comes with no guarantees whatsoever, in fact I would suggest to never
+# assume any information here is accurate.
