While it makes no sense to map some email address to an empty one, doing
things the other way around can be useful. For example when using
filter-branch with an env-filter that employs a mailmap to fix up an
import that created such broken commits with empty email addresses.

The umlaut (ö) in my name is broken in the commit that made it into
git.git --> 5288dd58356e53d61e2b3804fc7d8d23c3a46ab3

Last time this happened when I used format-patch -s instead of commit -s
IIRC. But since then, I pay attention to do the sign-off via commit -s,
yet my name is broken again. What did I do wrong this time?

I don't see nothing wrong in your mails. It appears to be a double
conversion to UTF-8 between the mail and the commit.

But I always use format-patch -s without problems, what was your
problem with format-patch?
