Hi,
I just applied for "Write after Approval" access for gcc and it is approved.
I used the email address "bin.cheng@arm.com" and login name
"amker@gcc.gnu.org".
Since there are different, I found it's a little confusing in practice and
want to
sync the login name with email(both bin.cheng).
So could you help me with this issue or how should I handle this?
BTW, my application is approved by Richard.
Thanks very much.

Why is this difficult? Your only use for amker should be for ssh checkins.
Other than that the account name shouldn't be visible. You should definitely
not be using it as a general-purpose mail account - even for messages to
the gcc list.

Thanks, Will the login name be used in svn log? It might be confusing for
others
to find who is "amker", since it is invisible usually. Is it an issue?
Thanks very much.

The login name will be in svn log, but don't worry about it. Many
people have patches committed by others, so the name in svn log has no
reliable connection to the author of the patch. The ChangeLog file is
the only reliable guide to who wrote the patch.
