X <p>
X Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for
X technical computing, with syntax that is familiar to users of other
X technical computing environments. It provides a sophisticated compiler,
X distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive
X mathematical function library.
X </p>
X <p>
X The library, largely written in Julia itself,
X also integrates mature, best-of-breed C and Fortran libraries for linear
X algebra, random number generation, signal processing, and string processing.
X In addition, the Julia developer community is contributing a number of
X external packages through Julia’s built-in package manager at a rapid pace.

Incidentally, .mailmap being a top level repository file is likely indexed by search engines.
Regarding privacy concerns, I've read that the file can be instead under .github which would colocate it with CODEOWNERS.
But isn't the git history also visible to search engines, which contains all those email addresses? This information is all already public.
If we move to .github, will git know what to do? I suppose you should be able to pass a mailmap file on the command line.
opening https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/commit/a8275e544abbccf39faece64d89f80e4fa8f068c, adding ".patch", and reloading the page will render an email address
likewise a repository cloned and cd'ed into and running git log will render email addresses
the rendered email addresses may be reflective of the content of a user's ~/.gitconfig file, or it may appear in the form as below
{user_name}@users.noreply.github.com
it's not my understanding that search engines index /{repository}/commit/{commit_designation}.patch pages
If we move to .github, will git know what to do?
that is not obvious from the man pages
man gitmailmap
DESCRIPTION
If the file .mailmap exists at the toplevel of the repository, or at the location pointed to by the mailmap.file or mailmap.blob configuration options (see git-config[1]), it is used to map author and committer names and email addresses to canonical real names and email addresses.
man git-config
mailmap.file
The location of an augmenting mailmap file. The default mailmap, located in the root of the repository, is loaded first, then the mailmap file pointed to by this variable. The location of the mailmap file may be in a repository subdirectory, or somewhere outside of the repository itself. See git-shortlog(1) and git-blame(1).
On GNOME's Activities menu rendered 48x48 *.xpm files appear "grainy".
Of the KDE .desktop file the user could substitute a higher resolution .png located in ~/.local/share/icons or a subdirectory thereof.
@ViralBShah
If we move to
.github, willgitknow what to do?
Sorry for my earlier response, I really don't know the answer to that.
- enquire of the GitHub company
- locate another GH Organization which relocated a repository top level .mailmap file without incident
- have JuliaLang Members create a test repository with a top level .mailmap file and see if relocating goes without incident
The file .git/index of course will contain the location of the .mailmap file.
It goes without saying that in a repository clone running git ls-files > output will dump the contents of .git/index to a text file.
contrib/windows/icon-readme.md
The julia.ico file was created from multiple .png files.
$ cd /tmp
$ file julia/contrib/windows/julia.ico
julia/contrib/windows/julia.ico: MS Windows icon resource - 9 icons, 256x256 with PNG image data, 256 x 256, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced, 32 bits/pixel, -128x-128, 32 bits/pixel
$ convert julia/contrib/windows/julia.ico julia.png
$ file julia-4.png
julia-4.png: PNG image data, 40 x 40, 8-bit colormap, non-interlaced
$
The above julia.png was created from the 40x40 content pasted into a 48x48 new image; for KDE's Application Launcher I preferred the different scale.
julia.png (1.7K) julia.xpm (2.9K)
An alternative to adding the proposed .shar file would be to add the above .png to contrib and comment the .desktop file with instructions on user customisation of .desktop files.
# This is a comment line in a .desktop file.
Save the previous comment's .png as julia.png and add it to contrib along with replacing the .svg file.
i.e. copy julia-dots.svg to contrib/julia.svg
contrib/README.md
|[ julia.png ](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/contrib/julia.png) | Julia png image file |
|[ julia.svg ](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/contrib/julia.svg) | Julia svg image file |
Modify the julia.desktop file as follows; Comment= and Categories= values were too verbose.
# To use uxterm, change to these values.
#
# Exec=uxterm -e julia
# Terminal=false
#
# To use a .png icon specify the full path and file extension.

Does the last comment look OK for a PR?
I've modified the last comment's .desktop file comment.
Possibly the gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor command could be added to contrib/README.md.

Debugging
Moving .mailmap to .github/.mailmap running git log with the option --use-mailmap appears to work.
AFAIK, modifications to the .mailmap file in this repository are performed manually.
A GitHub Inc. employee responded to a (5 Aug 2022) question on the possibility that certain top level repository files be excluded from indexing by search engines with this statement.
Given that such a change would affect many open-source communities, I recommend to submit your feedback through our official community forums: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions
https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions?discussions_q=mailmap
Some feedback appears on the official community forums.

Moving
.mailmapto.github/.mailmaprunning git log with the option--use-mailmapappears to work.
Perhaps I should add a qualifier here.
At least git log with the option --use-mailmap doesn't complain that it can't find .github/.mailmap.
New discussion: https://github.com/community/community/discussions/34833
this is low priority
Anyways, would the Julia developers be amenable to the following?
- replace the .svg file
- add a smaller scaled 48x48 .png suitable for KDE's Application Launcher (e.g. for 1366x768 Laptop Screens)
- aside from updating contrib/README.md based on the foregoing, add content regarding gtk-update-icon-cache
- comment the .desktop file, regarding the use of alternate terminals (than system defaults) and the use of a .png icon
.mailmap file relocation
Nothing definitive has resulted from enquiries to git developers on a potential loss of functionality resultant of file relocation.
I'm dropping my suggestion of relocating .mailmap to .github/.mailmap.
It's nigh impossible to obtain anything but speculation from git developers on the implications of relocation.

This sounds reasonable. Will replacing the current svg file break anything else on other platforms? Can you update this PR?
Will replacing the current svg file break anything else on other platforms?
as far as breakage, I wouldn't envisage problems on macOS or Windows
regarding Linux distros I can only speak on regarding GNOME and KDE
release-1.4 (branch) in contrib contains a julia.svg
currently there does not appear to be a julia.svg file in master (branch)
my suspicion is Windows uses a 3 dot .ico file for a Quick Launch entry
Can you update this PR?
If replacing should the .svg be the one from earlier branches or a 3 dot .svg? [Debian screenshot w/dots looks unobtrusive]
Admittedly this ticket has evolved since it was first opened.
It's likely in November that I would have time to submit a pull request.

Julia devs can add a commit to the Draft PR; also change the initial commit message and/or squash.
I suggest adding to contrib the following (source julia-dots.svg).

.svg file added and README.md updated accordingly
this is left for someone else to assess as to whether it is worthwhile to fix

The screenshot julia-gnome.png was located and the url fixed in julia.appdata.xml.
repo www.julialang.org
That image file is however Version 0.3.1 and might be replaced with a same named more recent screenshot.
More specifically the image's startup message is not current.
updated Nov 1 2022
There's the Issue #1772 over on JuliaLang/www.julialang.org which includes a newer gnome-terminal screenshot.
For reference on the code block added to contrib/README.md.

Other package formats, the above refers to .rpm, may have a different approach.
