Wow, great! I didn't know about this feature, thank you!

Yes, I will do that. But before sending a patch I have some questions
to people about their "canonical" names/e-mails that should be put in
.mailmap:
- Ricardo: <address@hidden> or <address@hidden>?
- Mark: Mark H Weaver or Mark H. Weaver?
- Amirouche: "amz3 <address@hidden>" or "Amirouche Boubekki
<address@hidden>"? (I suppose these belongs to a single
person)
- Ben: <address@hidden> or <address@hidden>?
- Christopher: Christopher Allan Webber or Christopher A. Webber?
- Tomáš: <address@hidden> or <address@hidden>?
- Taylan: Taylan Ulrich Bayirli/Kammer or Taylan Ulrich Bayırlı/Kammer?
- David: <address@hidden> or <address@hidden>?
- Cyprien Nicolas: Nicolas is a name, right? So I think the preferable
form would be "Nicolas Cyprien", no?
P.S.: I Cc-ed all the people, so make sure to remove them all during
answering to prevent spamming them.
