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...
