Details

My primary email address for Mozilla work is <mozilla@bucksch.org>. If I had a cvs checkin account and checked in, it would should up in bonsai (e.g. blame or log) as "mozilla"... We should soon have a LDAP server for mozilla.org, which can also store a nickname for users. Use this instead.

tara, I consider this to be a defect. The name is misrepresented. the problem was uncommon back then, but these days, more and more Mozilla contributors have their own domain (I see it in bugzilla, like <bugzilla@myname.invalid>), and if they use their scheme for the login name, their displayed "names" will all be meaningless.
We're already seeing this with Bugzilla because Joel Peshkin has cvs access, and his email address is bugreport@peshkin.net. So he shows up as "bugreport". Not very useful except that he's the only one so far, so we know it's him. :)
bug 179622 recently has turned up the need for that. We have several people with bugzilla@* mail addresses, this sometimes looks kinda strange...
