The generated AUTHORS file contains many duplicates. If an author has N commits, there will be N entries for the author in AUTHORS. Check if an author already exists in the list before appending. While at it, add a .mailmap (derived from libivrt's .mailmap) to futher tidy the generated AUTHORS list. Signed-off-by: Jim Fehlig <jfehlig(a)suse.com&gt; --- V2: Add .mailmap. I started with libvirt's .mailmap and removed entries where there was no corresponding author in the libvirt-python repo. .mailmap | 16 ++++++++++++++++ setup.py | 4 +++- 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/.mailmap b/.mailmap new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d8ac934 --- /dev/null +++ b/.mailmap @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +# 'git shortlog --help' and look for mailmap for the format of each line + +# Email consolidation: +# <Preferred address in AUTHORS> <other alias used by same author> + +&lt;jdenemar(a)redhat.com&gt; <Jiri.Denemark(a)gmail.com&gt; +&lt;jfehlig(a)suse.com&gt; <jfehlig(a)novell.com&gt; +&lt;stefanb(a)us.ibm.com&gt; <stefanb(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; + +# Name consolidation: +# Preferred author spelling <preferred email> +Alex Jia <ajia(a)redhat.com&gt; +Ján Tomko <jtomko(a)redhat.com&gt; +MATSUDA Daiki <matsudadik(a)intellilink.co.jp&gt; +Serge E.
