Description Wayne Beaton CLA 2011-08-25 10:08:53 EDT 
Alex (Jubula) recently changed her name and email address. Git commits authored under her previous email address are not be attributed to her and--by extension--her company.
Comment 1 Wayne Beaton CLA 2011-08-25 11:48:57 EDT 
This may be harder than I thought. Any modifications that we do in Dash will require that I include Alex's email address in the code. I believe that this is inappropriate at least, and possibly a violation of the Eclipse Foundation's privacy policy.

I have manually updated the database, but those changes will disappear the next time the scripts extract the information from the Git repo (i.e. on Sunday night).

I believe that we have two options:

1) The Eclipse Foundation infrastructure needs to be updated to track alternative email adresses for committers
2) The project's Git history needs to be re-written.

#1 seems like the right option.

I'm inclined to move this to Community/Portal.

With the fixes on Bug 355885, this issue disappears. Marking as FIXED.

Verified.
