If people prefer to use @gcc.gnu.org addresses, that's a small matter of adjusting the postprocessing of the author map from the gcc-conversion repository to replace the addresses there with usern...@gcc.gnu.org while keeping the names from that author map. (The postprocessing is needed anyway for this conversion because cvs-fast-export uses a more restricted author map syntax than reposurgeon does. Because there is no ChangeLog in wwwdocs, more sophisticated systems for identifying the relevant email address for each commit from the ChangeLog aren't practical the same way they are for the main GCC repository.) -- Joseph S.
