- Do you mean your local / personal mailmap?

- Intel email addresses have the format
<given_name.family_name@intel.com>, where given_name may carry a "middle
name" (initial) as well, plus it may be terminated with an X, to show
that the person is a contractor. So with <ching.jenx.cheng@intel.com>,
the developer is a contractor, not an employee, their family name is
"Cheng", and their given names are "Ching Jen".

Then, in the mailmap file, we use the "FirstName LastName" format (to
stick with the English / international custom). So I think my proposal
is the correct one; at most I should drop the X. Your version ("Cheng
Ching Jen") is the native Chinese name order, which is the inverse of
the English one.

Thanks
Laszlo
