Yes, but I belive from brian's mails on the topic[1][2][3] that the
issue at hand is that doing that is just the right level of
inconvienience in the minds of the users who want this feature, and that
e.g. having some/any of:

    git check-mailmap --porcelain --materialize-hashed
    git for-each-mailmap --format="%(authornamefrom:unhashed) %(authoremailfrom:unhashed) %(authornameto)"
    git ask-remote https://github.com/chromium/chromium -- <that for-each-mailmap-command> # (or whatever..)
    <open .mailmap in your $EDITOR and see/edit/save only materialized values>

Would tip it over the edge into the territory of this
socially-signalled-to-be-private information being too convenient to
extract from the DAG.
