ethernet e78e3a77be refactor(release): move the author map out of release.py 
release.py was 2,804 lines, 2,076 of them the frozen legacy author dict.
The map and its resolver now live in scripts/releases/: authors.py holds
the directory loader, the merged AUTHOR_MAP and resolve_author, and
authors_legacy.py holds only the frozen LEGACY_AUTHOR_MAP literal (same
1,895 entries, same order). release.py drops to 707 lines.

The contributor-check job and audit_pr_attribution.py grep the legacy
file for quoted emails, so both now read authors_legacy.py. The
importers (contributor_audit.py, add_contributor.py), contributors/README
and the tests read the defining modules. No behaviour change.

Contributor email → GitHub login mappings

This directory replaces appending entries to AUTHOR_MAP in scripts/releases/authors_legacy.py. The old dict caused constant merge conflicts when several salvage PRs landed at once — every PR edited the same lines of the same file. Here, each mapping is its own file, and file additions never conflict.

Adding a mapping

One file per commit-author email, under emails/:

python3 scripts/add_contributor.py <email> <github-login>
# or by hand:
echo "<github-login>" > contributors/emails/<email>
  • File name = the exact commit-author email (as shown by git log --format='%ae').
  • File content = the GitHub login on the first non-comment line. Lines starting with # are comments (use them for the PR reference).

Example — contributors/emails/jane.doe@example.com:

janedoe
# PR #12345 salvage (gateway: fix session key routing)

Rules

  • Do NOT add new entries to AUTHOR_MAP in scripts/releases/authors_legacy.py. That dict is frozen legacy data; the release tooling merges it with this directory (directory entries win on duplicates).
  • GitHub noreply emails (<id>+<login>@users.noreply.github.com and <login>@users.noreply.github.com) auto-resolve — no file needed.
  • The Contributor Attribution Check CI job fails a PR whose commits carry an unmapped email; the failure message prints the exact command to run.
