    Two notes:
    1.
    This could be handled by only including patches of those people who
    consent to their address being published,

    2.
    The user does not have to give a routable mail address in
    BK_USER/BK_HOST, but he can set BK_HOST to whatever he wants.

    If the whole corruption is intentional, then I'd suggest that RMK
    participates in the maintenance of the lk-changelog.pl aka. shortlog
    script. I have no chance to resolve common names through
    google/lbdb/grep -r on the suspect source files unless the address is
    there. There are so many people called Jonas Larsson - how do I know if
    that fellow has a middle name?
