Username missing from Aliases
Wow, been a while since I've gotten to report (what seems to be) a bug! Thanks for all the great features! On to our problem, it seems that the Aliases list for BRL-CAD is missing a username that Ohloh sees in other places:
https://www.ohloh.net/p/brlcad/contributors?query=rbowers&sort=latest_commit
This user is not listed when we go to https://www.ohloh.net/p/brlcad/aliases/new
The only hint I have is that the user's commits under that old username are to a portion of our source tree that no longer exists (hierarchy was rearranged several years ago).
Cheers!
Sean
Sean,
Looks like the activity plotted is 68 commits from about March, 2001 through October, 2003. Could you point me to some newer commits that Ronald has made he isn't getting credit for...
Thanks!
Hi! The problem isn't credit but, rather, that rbowers
does not show up in the list of commit usernames that can be aliased to another name even though 68 commits are found, I'd like to alias rbowers
to his later ronaldbowers
name but cannot because it's not listed.
Cheers! --Sean
Sean,
Just added an alias - see if it will do what you need. I thought it was meant to be {committer ID} to {ohloh ID}
Changes will take effect after the next Ohloh report update.
I can force this if you would like to see it sooner than tomorrow.
Thanks!

Sorry, read your message wrong the first time and see now that you added the reverse alias for us.
I see now that rbowers is listed in the will be attributed to
list, but just not in the Contributions by
list. I'd missed that detail because we wanted the attribution to go the other way: rbowers -> ronaldbowers
I'm not sure I see the committer vs ohloh ID distinction, though, because most of our other Contributions by
aliases are most definitely not pointing to ohloh IDs. Moreover, rbowers is a committer
as shown by the 68 commits so I'd think he should be listed, no?
