Yes, it's the later. Jon Corbet has a great little python tool that we
have used to create the "who is writing the kernel" series of articles.
I've been using it to keep track of who maps to what email address and
for what company for a while now.
An older version can be found at:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/kernel_history/
it's the 'gitdm' tool there. I don't know if he has an updated version
around anywhere, I suppose as it looks like I'm doing the releases for
it, I can put up a new snapshot if people are really interested.
I also have "cleaned up" versions of the kernel log files for just the
reason you say above. You would not believe the number of times some
people mispell their own name in a single kernel release... That makes
it easier to do this kind of mapping. The cleaned up logs are in that
directory as well.
thanks,
