I think I'd just remove this test case altogether, IIUC it' doesn't
provide any additional value vs. the "check-mailmap simple address: no
mapping" test below.

Sorry, but I do not follow.  The other one is [off-list ref]
that looks more globally routable address than a local-only <bogus>
mailbox.  Isn't it worth ensuring that we will keep treating them
the same way?

Having said that ...

-or standard input (when using `--stdin`), look up the person's canonical name

-otherwise print the input as-is.

... it seems that <user> without <@host> is a supported format.
Should we update the document, too? 

If the @host-less name is meant to trigger a random unspecified
behaviour, whatever the code happens to do, that is perfectly fine,
but then we probably should not be etching it in the stone by
writing a test for it.  So because of a  reason that is completely
different from yours, I'd support removal of the "bogus" test, if
that is the case.

Thanks.
