Thoma, David, I realise you both maintain a "master" copy of email
addresses for DPDK contributors, so feel free to submit a v4 with that
list. Overall, though, I really think we need to have a mailmap file in the
repo, rather than asking people to maintain their own if they want
repository stats. In the meantime, I am submitting this v3 in the hope
others find it useful.
