as always I am confused what is your first name and what is the surname.
Sorry about that... It's sure confusing. According to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_name#Chinese_names_in_English
"Chinese people, except for those traveling or living outside of China, rarely reverse their names to the western naming order (given name, then family name). Western publications usually preserve the Chinese naming order, with the family name first, followed by the given name."
However it does look worthwhile to fit the western order in English since the majority LKML readers are accustomed to that. The good news is, whether or not "Fengguang Wu" or "Wu Fengguang" is used, Chinese people can always recognize "Wu" as my family name, instantly.
Intel email messages seem to be $fristname.$lastname@intel.com. So if Wu is your last name you should put a »,« behind Wu in your Mutt configuration and adapt your Git configuration with the following command.
git config --global user.name "Fengguang Wu"
Done. Thanks for the tip!
Fengguang Wu
