If anyone is interested I can send them a .mailmap that fixes a lot of
the problems in the kernel tree. It's two years old so it will need
updating.

Please just make a patch with it, and post it to lkml and CC Linus and
Andrew Morton.  Repost a month later if no one picked it up.

Been there, done that. 1000 message flame war ensued about privacy
concerns over people's email address in the file.

I think that 'git log' should really consider the .mailmap by default.
Otherwise what's the point?   The only time when .mailmap should not be
considered is when using --pretty=raw or when explicitly told not to.
