That was this patch:
https://public-inbox.org/git/20181213120940.26477-1-cb@hashpling.org/
There were no objections so I was going to re-propose it but I haven't
got around to this for a number of reasons, many of which are not Git
related. Ideally, I wanted to fix all of the known issues with mailmap
such as some behaviors of shortlog fixed with the shortlog patch above.
I also noticed some more artifacts that I would like to be fixed. In
particular the RFC 822 style "trailers" should be rewritten by default.
Having something like this pop up is not likely to be acceptable in a
project which uses trailers:
commit abcd...
Author: Bob <bob@...>
important commit message
Signed-off-by: Alice <alice@...?
Obviously it's virtually impossible to account for everything such as
someone referencing Bob by their deadname in the free text body of a
historical commit.
