Your first contribution was back in v2.20 days, and then the recent ones are all within this cycle for v2.25.

I am a bit curious why you need to avoid being lazy just to give the correct name to your commits, though. Isn't

	git config [--global] user.name "name with accents"

just fire-once-and-forget solution, or is there anything else involved?

Thanks. I do not _mind_ to add a new mailmap entry to correct mistakes after the fact, but it of course is better to have them right from the start, and I am wondering if our configuration scheme needs to do more to help you.
