Comment 1 for bug 6648

First, apologies to <email address hidden> that I subscribed to this bug by mistake.

When doing the initial import, nothing tells us that the committer has an account on the current cvs server. Think of the xorg case for example, setting @cvs.xorg.org email address for XFree86 committers would be... misleading... and perhaps even controversial.

In the face of ambiguity, yadda yadda yadda...

Otherwise, I see no principled reason why the commiter email could not be generated in that way for incremental imports. That would actually improve the quality of the imported data.
