updated mailmap file for LK repository
The current version of the .mailmap file does only capture a fraction of errors and ambiguity when looking at developers emails and names. Hence, this revised version tries to address many more names and, as a result, to clarify maintainer information. Issues addressed: - Typos in names - Typos in mails - Mapping of ambiguous mail adresses (e.g. {aa@bb.cc, aa@home.(none), aa@laptop.bb.cc,...} becomes {aa@bb.cc}) but keeping LKML specific ones - Mapping of names to entries with only email information - Correct usage of special character (e.g. German umlauts) - Harmonization of position and style of last name (no more all-caps names like "First LAST" or those of "Last, First") - No initials in names if not necessary - Conversion of email addresses to lower case Signed-off-by: Philipp Riemer <ruderphilipp@gmail.com> --- Finally I am back from my trip through Germany and after attending LinuxTag in Berlin last week, reading Documentation/SubmittingPatches, and checking other patch submissions, I give this topic finally a new try... Hopefully my submission confirms to the LK standards this time. I can certify that this contribution was conscientiously created in whole by me and therefore added the sign-off message. Please pull from

to get the changes in the attached patch file (since even the web-interface of GMail wraps lines) -- or simply inspect/apply that file directly.
