It make sense to use this file to fix spelling and encoding issues that
otherwise show up when checking the git history. It also makes sense to
honor name changes for people, to avoid dead naming or similar. As well
as fixing up local mail addresses that have never been valid.

It makes less sense to remap valid addresses at the time of submission
that represented a specific hat or organization, where the person is
no longer affiliated with, because that breaks the historic trail and
provenance of the changes. And is what require a continuous update
burden, which seems to have been the reason for the removal with
commit 2231a1659621d281a2fbb0d75bad5bccce538f96.
