Correct, that's not me.

Preferred userid:	peter.jones
Alternate userid:	peter_jones

I am assuming that "." is an allowed character because there is
already (exactly) one userid on the above-referenced committers page
with a "." (grant.monroe).  There are a few more with underscores, so
I gather if "." is not OK, then "_" is OK as an alternative.

My preference is "peter.jones" just because I already (for better or
for worse) created my JIRA account at issues.apache.org with that user
name (after having discovered the existing account for "peterjones").

Thanks,
