every contributor wishing to do so can already choose to use the
preferred uuid/email metadata they wish and ask some person with commit
access to add a uuid/display-name mapping via git .mailmap
unfortunately this does not resolve the problem with rewriting history
with git, because Guix artifacts also contains source code that usually
contains information about the author, including names that potentially
could become "deadnames" in the future
happy hacking!
