Some at Qt Software use aliases which may have only two letters.

One could argue that just one letter should be permitted as well,
but that's none of my concerns. :)

moin,

just in case this wasn't clear: the patch below is a request to merge,
or at least an rfc. you see, i have a rather bad standing in getting my
colleagues to use rebase if git mangles their commits in the process. ;)
thanks

greetings
