Re: Committers info for the git migration - URGENT!

Attention committers!! ;)

When we migrate to git, we will do a one-time mapping of your old
username to an email address (as was discussed on the developer
meeting in Ottawa earlier this year). This is stamped on every commit
you have ever done, since that's how git works. It's part of the
commit itself, so it *cannot* be changed once this is done. We can of
course change which email address is used for *new* commits, but not
for the existing once once they have gone in.

The current mapping used is the same one as on git.postgresql.org (see
attached file).

Per discussions earlier on this list, we encourage people to use an
email address that is permanent and stable, and does not for example
change if you change your ISP or if you change employer. But in the
end, the decision of which email address to use is up to you.

If you want to *change* your email address from the one in the list
attached here, please let me know *ASAP*. At the latest I need to know
this before tuesday evening european time (see separate email about
migration timeline).

Since there is now a very tight timeline on this (sorry!), please ping
any other committers you have on your IM/IRC list that you know don't
read their -hackers email daily...

Interesting list -- some names on there I haven't seen in a long time...

Mine is fine.

BTW, I noticed that this list omits several old committers:

162 bryanh
20 byronn
6 julian
1 mcguirk

(the numbers are the number of commits I find in cvs2cl for each name).

I am pretty sure of the first two:

Bryan Henderson <bryanh(at)giraffe(dot)netgate(dot)net>
Byron Nikolaidis <byronn(at)insightdist(dot)com>

and I think the others are

Julian Assange <proff(at)suburbia(dot)net>
Dan McGuirk <mcguirk(at)indirect(dot)com>

though they're before my time.

Added to the list used.

Bruce, can you confirm the last two? I assume you were around back
then? ;) Or maybe Marc?

Well, that's political, and we've done a pretty good job of keeping
the project free of politics so far :-) Plus, we don't generally
announce our committers... So we should just stick to our existing
policies ;)

Dan McGuirk is definitely right. I do not remember Julian Assange at
all. Why do we believe it is Julian Assange?

There's half a dozen commits from back around 1996 applied by Marc
on behalf of Julian Assange <proff(at)suburbia(dot)net>, and then about
half a dozen committed by "julian" without any other ID. The first
of the former is

1996-07-18 01:48 scrappy

* src/: bin/monitor/monitor.c, bin/psql/psql.c,
interfaces/libpq/fe-exec.c, interfaces/libpq/libpq-fe.h: libpq and
psql.c have been modified to do various things they didn't do
before (plus some optimisations/bug fixes et al). I've included a
small demo transcript below. Note that all of of the display
functionality/intelligence you see here, can be had merely by
calling the new LIBPQ PQprint() routine with the appropriate
arguments/options, including the HTML3 output guff.

submitted by: Julian Assange <proff(at)suburbia(dot)net>

and the last of the latter is

1996-08-20 20:22 julian

* src/bin/psql/psql.c: command line flag for expanded display '-x'
had logic reversed

So far as I can see, he only contributed to psql not the backend.

Oh wait, here is one where he identifies himself as "proff":

1996-07-25 02:46 julian

* src/bin/psql/psql.c: Large re-write/enhancement. In pg-101 Jolly
only included a smaller part of my (proff) patch. This is the rest
of it, with a few, mainly aesthetic changes. I've removed a lot of
redundency from the original code, added support for the new
PQprint() routines in libpq, expanded tables, and a few generally
nifty ways of massaging data in and out of the backend. Still needs
some good stress testing.

So this committer is him, not some other Julian.

Just for the archives, would you post the current list? I lost track of

I wonder whether we shouldn't use the most recent address we have
for the git conversion, though.

Thomas, do you have a preference? See
