Why add these entries at all again?

For instance, my name is listed once in your patch.
and I don't see a reason it should be entered at all.

Many developers share a common name and some of
these entries may be not be correct.

Some developers purposefully use multiple email
addresses to allow direct responses to be categorized
on receipt.
