Consolidating to a single "forever" address is good.

It is a bit hard for us to convince ourselves that Wincent Colaiuta
and Greg Hurrel are the same person, though.  The only way I can
think of offhand is to leave this message in the mailing list
briefly and see if a different Wincent comes and complains ;-)

[gitgitgadget]

Found multiple candidates in gitgitgadget/git:
refs/remotes/gitster/main
refs/remotes/gitster/master;

Using the first one.

[gitgitgadget]

This branch is now known as main.

I can vouch for Greg, having worked with him during our mutual time at
GitHub that I greatly enjoyed, and can say with conviction that his GitHub
handle @wincent corresponds to the name Wincent Colaiuta.

I can also guarantee that you will enjoy hearing the story behind it,
although it might require you to buy Greg/Wincent a beer or two (which I
guarantee you won't regret, either).

Ciao,
Johannes

What a coincidence.

I declared "absense of objection is good enough" after waiting for a
few weeks, and applied the mailmap change directly to 'master' this
morning ;-)

Thanks.  It is nice to be supported by a positive confirmation, not
just absense of objection ;-)
