        http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6.git?a=blob;f=.mailmap

 ...right there. :-)

I updated to 1.6.0-rc0 and this is working. mailmap needs some
cleanup. Errors are still in the list, but this is a lot better than
it was. That made about 800 'contributors' disappear.

Is there a way to do short log and have it map the names?

Yes, as of v1.6.0-rc0~58 you can pass --pretty=format: to shortlog.

What about replacing the emails with their current email address?

Nope, that was never meant to be done.
