The latest release candidate notes say that there is a new contributor:
    Jean-Noël Avila via GitGitGadget, ...
But this is a familiar face, just in a G.G. Gadget trench coat.
Also map the rest of the idents in the history.

Thanks.

This is bad, as I thought "via GitGitGadget" name will never be exposed to "git am" (in other words, GGG will always use the "From:" in-body header to protect the author identity).

Will apply.  Thanks.

It seems that I invented the patch text, inserted it into some cover letter that was available nearby, and applied it, so GGG wasn't involved in it at all (GGG does not give the in-body "From:" to cover letters, so it is entirely my fault that I failed to notice that the e-mail "From:" that points at GGG was used).

I spilled all my online identities in the codebase... Thanks for fixing this with the right one.
