# This program will update the AUTHORS file to include commit authors that are
# in the git history but are not yet credited.
#
# The CONTRIBUTORS section of the AUTHORS file attempts to be a list of
# individual contributors to OpenZFS, with one name, address and line per
# person. This is good for readability, but does not really leave room for the
# that names and emails on commits from the same individual can be different,
# for all kinds of reasons, not limited to:
#
# - a person might change organisations, and so their email address changes
#
# - a person might be paid to work on OpenZFS for their employer, and then hack
#   on personal projects in the evening, so commits legitimately come from
#   different addresses
#
# - names change for all kinds of reasons
#
# To try and account for this, this program will try to find all the possible
# names and emails for a single contributor, and then select the "best" one to
# add to the AUTHORS file.
#
# The CONTRIBUTORS section of the AUTHORS file is considered the source of
# truth. Once an individual committer is listed in there, that line will not be
# removed regardless of what is discovered in the commit history. However, it
# can't just be _anything_. The name or email still has to match something seen
# in the commit history, so that we're able to undertand that its the same
# contributor.
#
# The bulk of the work is in running `git log` to fetch commit author names and
# emails. For each value, we generate a "slug" to use as an internal id for
# that value, which is mostly just the lowercase of the value with whitespace
# and punctuation removed. Two values with subtle differences can produce the
# same slug, so at this point we also try to keep the "best" pre-slug value as
# the display version. We use this slug to update two maps, one of email->name,
# the other of name->email.
#
# Once collected, we then walk all the emails we've seen and get all the names
# associated with every instance. Then for each of those names, we get all the
# emails associated, and so on until we've seen all the connected names and
# emails. This collection is every possible name and email for an individual
# contributor.
#
# Finaly, we consider these groups, and select the "best" name and email for
# the contributor, and add them to the author tables if they aren't there
# already. Once we've done everyone, we write out a new AUTHORS file, and
# that's the whole job.
#
# This is imperfect! Its necessary for the user to examine the diff and make
# sure its sensible. If it hasn't hooked up right, it may necessary to adjust
# the input data (via .mailmap) or improve the heuristics in this program. It
# took a long time to get into good shape when first written (355 new names
# added to AUTHORS!) but hopefully in the future we'll be running this
# regularly so it doesn't fall so far behind.
