Rob Norris 8e318fda80 update_authors: consider Signed-off-by trailers for committer idents
I've increasingly found that commits from new contributors have the
author set in the "Github noreply" obfuscated style. If they do have a
better canonical choice, it's usually in the Signed-off-by: trailer in
the commit message.

I had avoided using these in the first version of this program because
they aren't always present, aren't always correct, and some commits have
multiple signoffs. It seems however that requiring either the name or
the email address to match the commit author sufficiently narrows the
scope to be useful for the "Github noreply" situation, which is really
the main sticking point. And of course, if it gets it wrong, overriding
in .mailmap or AUTHORS is always an option.

# 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.
#
# Where possible, we also consider Signed-off-by: trailers in the commit
# message, and if they match the commit author, enter them into the maps also.
# Because a commit can contain multiple signoffs, we only track one if either
# the name or the email address match the commit author (by slug). This is
# mostly aimed at letting an explicit signoff override a generated name or
# email on the same commit (usually a Github noreply), while avoiding every
# signoff ever being treated as a possible canonical ident for some other
# committer. (Also note that this behaviour only works for signoffs that can be
# extracted with git-interpret-trailers, which misses many seen in the OpenZFS
# git history, for various reasons).
#
# 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.
