From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

Stolee transitioned from Microsoft to GitHub in July 2020, but continued to use <dstolee@microsoft.com> because it was a valid address. He also used <stolee@gmail.com> to communicate with the mailing list since writing plaintext emails is difficult in Outlook. However, recent issues with GMail delaying mailing list messages created a need to change his primary email address.

    mailmap: change primary address for Derrick Stolee
    
    As mentioned, I'm transitioning my email to my @github.com address. I
    might still use stolee@gmail.com for some old threads that aren't
    completely available in my other account.
    
    This also doesn't change any commits that were submitted before this,
    but should affect all commits that I submit afterwards.
    
    Thanks, -Stolee

Yeah that sucks. You might be interested in the tips I had for working around it in https://lore.kernel.org/git/220202.86leyt8uly.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com/; and others have suggested subscribing an alias address for the GMail address.

FWIW I think only the addition of that last line is needed since the .mailmap syntax supports mapping A->B, followed by B->C.

"I prefer this address to be the one shown" is a good enough justification for these entries ;-).

I suspect that another reason of retiring the two entries that may not be captured in the log message is so that people does not have to know the person is reachable both at microsoft and github.

It is somewhat sad that we need to carry these "via GitGitGadget" entries in the file, but we are fortunate that the mailmap supports the "differentiate two authors with the same e-mail with the human readable name" feature so that we can label v2.25.0~3^2 and v2.25.1~20^2~1 with the rigth authors. If my counting is correct, these two are the only ones that we mistakenly made GGG as the author of a change.
