We can't change the commit message body, but if you are worried about
people still being able to reach you based about a patch they found
while browsing git history, we DO have .mailmap where you can list a new
preferred email address to use in place of any commits you made under an
old address.  Patching .mailmap is a nice (but optional) way to let
people know how to reach you, if you still expect to be reached.
