Thanks, that's a good suggestion. I kind of wonder if these mass
mailmap-cleanup patches are a good idea in general. They are making
assumptions about how people want their names to be represented, and
whether and how they want any mappings to appear. Maybe that's something
we should be leaving to people to propose for their own identities.

Of course people who aren't active in the project anymore may not bother
to do the cleanup, and of course messy data makes me sad. But on the
whole, I'm not sure it's that big a deal either way.
