I vote yes
Comment 3 Jory A. Pratt gentoo-dev 2022-04-30 14:32:56 UTC
abstain, this should be nothing more then for corporate companies that pay gentoo devs that just have to have recognition IMO.
Comment 4 David Seifert gentoo-dev 2022-04-30 14:34:37 UTC
I vote yes.
Comment 5 Alec Warner (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2022-05-01 04:02:54 UTC

Not sure how this is supposed to proceed? I wasn't a trustee when voting started, so I'm reluctant to add my vote here. Should we restart?

This is the purpose of the file, but we've made it opt-in for everybody. For example, devs with commits only in the gentoo-x86 CVS repository won't appear in the git log.

(I also believe on principle that it shouldn't be purely companies in the list.)

Comment 12 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2024-02-12 10:39:21 UTC
ulm asked that I clarify my requested entry: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org>.

Possibly worth us thinking about .mailmap at some point in the repo root for when people retire (or to map their pre-dev contributionsn) but that's another topic.
