Merges contributions made from three different addresses:
- win@wincent.com (old address, initial contributions in 2007–2009)
- greg@hurrell.net (personal address matching full name, so this one is
  the "forever" address; contributions made starting in 2018)
- greg.hurrell@datadoghq.com (current work address, used for recent
  contributions)

Consolidating to a single "forever" address is good.

It is a bit hard for us to convince ourselves that Wincent Colaiuta and Greg Hurrel are the same person, though. The only way I can think of offhand is to leave this message in the mailing list briefly and see if a different Wincent comes and complains ;-)

I can vouch for Greg, having worked with him during our mutual time at GitHub that I greatly enjoyed, and can say with conviction that his GitHub handle @wincent corresponds to the name Wincent Colaiuta.

I can also guarantee that you will enjoy hearing the story behind it, although it might require you to buy Greg/Wincent a beer or two (which I guarantee you won't regret, either).

Ciao, Johannes

What a coincidence.

I declared "absense of objection is good enough" after waiting for a few weeks, and applied the mailmap change directly to 'master' this morning ;-)

Thanks. It is nice to be supported by a positive confirmation, not just absense of objection ;-)
