| 
| Hello *,
| 
| I've been trying to (re)construct a .mailmap file[1] in ghc.git which
| allows `git shortlog` and `git log --use-mailmap` (and possibly other
| tools/commands) to fixup bogus author-ids when displaying the Git
| history, in the hopes to provide a more complete history of GHC and all
| contributors involved.
| 
| I've been able to infer mappings for most users, but I'm stuck on a
| couple of older account usernames dating back a decade ago for which I
| have no idea what real names to associate with. These are specifically:
| 
|   $ git shortlog -es | grep unknown
|     16	apt <unknown>
|      1	cryder <unknown>
|     13	desrt <unknown>
|      8	dnt <unknown>
|      1	geoffw <unknown>
|     12	gla <unknown>
|      3	josefs <unknown>
|      5	krc <unknown>
|      1	kw <unknown>
|      5	kw217 <unknown>
|      1	mbs <unknown>
|      1	moran <unknown>
|      3	njn <unknown>
|      8	ralf <unknown>
|     11	rje <unknown>
|      1	sseefried <unknown>
|      1	tgedell <unknown>
|      1	uid245 <unknown>
|      1	umuta <unknown>
|      1	y.zhuang5 at lse.ac.uk <unknown>
| 
| If you happen to know who these past contributors are, please either
| tell me or update [1] accordingly. Moreover, if you stumble over any
| wrong entry in [1], feel free to correct it.
|
