The commits themselves are write-once, but there is a
mechanism by which name and email addresses listed
in Author: fields may be remapped so that when generating
the AUTHORS file or running git log or git shortlog, the
preferred/corrected information is printed, and I have done
that with the attached patch:

0001-maint-correct-for-four-Author-name-misspellings.patch
Description: Binary data
