Wow, great!  I didn't know about this feature, thank you!

Yes, I will do that.  But before sending a patch I have some questions
to people about their "canonical" names/e-mails that should be put in
.mailmap:

- Ricardo: <ricardo.wurmus@mdc-berlin.de> or <rekado@elephly.net>?

- Mark: Mark H Weaver or Mark H. Weaver?

- Amirouche: "amz3 <amirouche@hypermove.net>" or "Amirouche Boubekki
  <amirouche.boubekki@gmail.com>"?  (I suppose these belongs to a single
  person)

- Ben: <b.woodcroft@uq.edu.au> or <donttrustben@gmail.com>?

- Christopher: Christopher Allan Webber or Christopher A. Webber?

- Tom=C3=A1=C5=A1: <sleep_walker@suse.cz> or <sleep_walker@gnu.org>?

- Taylan: Taylan Ulrich Bayirli/Kammer or Taylan Ulrich Bay=C4=B1rl=C4=B1/K=
ammer?

- David: <dthompson2@worcester.edu> or <dthompson@member.fsf.org>?

- Cyprien Nicolas: Nicolas is a name, right?  So I think the preferable
  form would be "Nicolas Cyprien", no?


P.S.: I Cc-ed all the people, so make sure to remove them all during
answering to prevent spamming them.
