Here's a hint: using your "uuid" model, I'll get some commits into a
project with the wrong uuid. Because I made a typo, or changed
machines (and a random uuid got created), whatever reason. So now in
my project I appear under 2 uuids.

What should we do in that case? Use mailmap to map the stray uuid to
the "real" one?... Have we done a lot of work to get back to square 0?

At worst, things will be just like they have always been.

Most likely, all that will happen is identification entropy won't
increase nearly so rapidly and there might be other benefits
such as shortlog speed improvements.
