For maintainers, I think we could have a MAINTAINERS file as is
available on Linux sources. This allows for a cannonical place for
look at.

When someone stops to work for company Y the credit should still go to
the sponsoring of the company since this doesn't changes who paid the
work.

Besides that, forcing all commits to be done from a "cannonical mail
domain" will enforce a difficult to follow policy and turn problematic
the merging of ordinary trees with fixes.
