[gentoo-dev] [RFC] Requiring gentoo.git committers to use their @gentoo.org address

[Michał Górny]

Hi,

We currently don't enforce any particular standard for e-mail addresses
for developers committing to gentoo.git.  FWICS, the majority of
developers is using their @gentoo.org e-mail addresses.  However, a few
developers are using some other addresses.

Using non-@g.o e-mail addresses generally causes problems
in accounting for commits.  For example, our retirement scripts can't
detect commits made using non-Gentoo e-mail address.  My dev-timeline
scripts [1] account for all emails in LDAP (which doesn't cover all
addresses developers use).  FWIK gkeys accounts for all addresses
in the OpenPGP key UIDs.  In my opinion, that's a lot of hoops to jump
through to workaround bad practice.

Therefore, I'd like to start enforcing (at the level of the hook
verifying signatures) that all commits made to gentoo.git (and other
repositories requiring dev signatures) are made using @gentoo.org e-mail 
address (for committer field).

Is anyone opposed to that?  Does anyone know of a valid reason to use
non-@g.o address when committing?
