Hi all,

I was in the process of publishing GitDM including config files in my
personal xenbits repository, such that other community members can run
contribution stats. However the config files contain email addresses and
thus there may be a potential privacy issue. Config files contain
* e-mail domain to employer mappings
* some e-mail address to employer mappings
* email address aliases mappings
* email address to name mappings (for acknowledgements)

Most of the information in them are public in the first place (i.e. they
are available from git logs and mailing lists).

I know that open source foundations such as OpenStack publish their
GitDM config files and I also found some other ones flying around.

But before I publish anything I did want to check whether there are
objections.
For stuff gleaned from public info it seems ok.
My view also
But for stuff which was taken from private conversations I think you
probably ought to ask if it is ok to share it (and get into the habit of
doing so when you first ask someone who there employer is).
Of course the problem I have now is that I can't remember whom I asked.
Agreed on moving forward

Lars
