We've already done something similar with WaveComp who have rolled up the various mips and imgtec contributions into contrib/gitdm/group-map-wavecomp. It's really up to you and which corporate entity would like internet bragging points. The only Siemens contributor I could find is Jan Kiszka but he has contributed a fair amount ;-)

My understanding is it is useful to document the historic status (who was who at the time of contribution). The tool support such granularity [*]: EmailMap file Map email addresses onto employers. These files contain lines like: [user@]domain employer [< yyyy-mm-dd] If the "user@" portion is missing, all email from the given domain will be treated as being associated with the given employer. If a date is provided, the entry is only valid up to that date; otherwise it is considered valid into the indefinite future. This feature can be useful for properly tracking developers' work when they change employers but do not change email addresses.

I don't know what others use them for but for me it was just an easy way to get a survey of the companies and individuals involved over the last year (2y, 3y, 5y... etc) of development. The consolidation of contributions isn't overly distorting IMO. The biggest user is probably the end of year state of the nation surveys wanting to see what impact various organisations are having on a project and consolidation just helps push you up the table a little more. The biggest counter example we have at the moment is RedHat/IBM which AFAICT is because the RedHat guys are treated as a separate business unit with their own unique identity. Either way I don't think it's a major issue - hence it is up to the hackers to make the choice. -- Alex Bennée

My personal interest is seeing how the corporate/academic/hobbyist contributions are split, and how this evolves over time. Since there were entries for some companies, I added more, but this is not a requisite and we can drop the patches if considered not useful or giving headaches to the contributors. > The consolidation of > contributions isn't overly distorting IMO.

Totally. In this particular case, we could even keep "Codesourcery" group separate, similarly to RH/IBM. Regards, Phil.
