The mapping list was originally composed by me on a whim based on what I thought people's email addresses tended to be. It wouldn't hurt to ponder Robert's points at this time. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Agreed. And per the discussion at the developer meeting, even if we don't limit what can be used, we should at least give committters a chance to pick a different address from the one they are on that list with today. *Personally*, I'd prefer to keep using my main email address for commits. This is what I use for all other projects (postgresql or others) that I commit or contribute to. It's an address on a domain I own, and fully control. It's a pretty clear indication of my "identity" in the opensource world, whereas close to nobody would know who mha(a)postgresql.org is. Plus, email to it tends to be delivered much quicker and more reliably than the @postgresql.org one - though that has improvied significantly lately. But I can also see Roberts point. If a committer doesn't have a *stable* address, we won't be able to track this committer through time. Say if he changes job and gets a new address, we can start using that one for new commits, but not for old ones. And since we grant commit status to the *person* and not the representative of a company, using a company email address doesn't quite match up there. When it comes to using generic @gmail.com or whatever addresses, that's somewhere in between. For a lot of people, those can definitely be considered stable, because a change in employment, a move to a different country, things like that, won't affect the email address (which it would be if it was an ISP-specific one for example - that might not transfer to a new country or even a new city). -- �Magnus Hagander �Me: http://www.hagander.net/ �Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

As for me, I'd much prefer to be rhaas(a)postgresql.org than robertmhaas(a)gmail.com. While it's true that I'm unlikely to lose control of robertmhaas(a)gmail.com, I might decide I'm no longer happy with their service, or whatever. Assuming I stay on the sysadmin team's good side, rhaas(a)postgresql.org can always be repointed. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

"Prefer" is exactly the key word here. I see no reason not to let each committer exercise his personal preference as to which address to use. We should suggest that reasonably stable ones be chosen, but it's not the project's business to make that decision for people. And in any case it's impossible to be sure of the longevity of email addresses more than a few years out, unless your crystal ball works a lot better than mine. (My own take is that I absolutely refuse to use tgl(a)postgresql.org as a primary mail address. Its spam filtering is nearly nonexistent. What comes through there is not *quite* filed directly to /dev/null here, but it's darn close to that.) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
