Earlier commits were authored with a personal address. Map it onto the canonical ASF identity so git log/shortlog/blame and the GitHub contributors view show a single author. No history is rewritten.

.mailmapthat maps a personal address used in some earlier commits onto the corresponding ASF identity:Why
A few commits (for example the RC6 release commit
8f1e1e1) were authored under a personal address, while the release itself is signed and published under the ASF identityzhangzhe@apache.org..mailmapcanonicalizes the author identity forgit log/git shortlog/git blameand for the GitHub contributors view, so the public history is attributed consistently.Scope and safety
