The issue of deadnaming aside, turning on log.mailmap by default is
the sensible thing to do given that other Git features already honor
it that way. Having it ignored-by-default (but only sometimes) just
adds confusion when a mailmap is available.

The long form you give there is to be used in case the old email
address is not a unique key. See 'git help shortlog'.
The problem we have at work is that one woman's old email address
includes her deadname, like <firstname.lastname@company.com>. I will
leave it up to her whether she chooses to be listed explicitly in the
mailmap. I have wondered if we should permit hashed email addresses
to be used for this specific case, but this also has its drawbacks.
