great addition, thanks!
In response to numerous requests, we're pleased to announce a new feature we call contributor aliases.
This feature allows you to join two or more different spellings of a developer's name into a single preferred spelling. The merged names will then be represented as a single person in the Ohloh statistics report.
This feature is accessed under the 'Edit' tab on a project home page. From there, click on the 'Aliases' sub-menu to create or remove aliases.
Visit the discussion board with questions or feedback.
Kudos on the feature. Really handy for the projects (e.g., Python) who moved their entire repository over to svn and subsequently changed a lot of user accounts along the way.
it'd be very helpful if this could be shared among multiple projects. mozilla.org has quite a few projects with shared engineers. Trying to fill in alias tables for dozens of copies of nearly identical user lists is very painful.
