I think it's mostly hysterical raisins. Mailmap grew as a shortlog
feature, and then only later became available via custom format
specifiers like "%aN", in git-blame, etc. And nobody ever updated the
stock formats.
It would make sense to me to add an option to do so, and probably to
turn it on by default for normal human-consumed formats, but probably
not for "--pretty=raw".
