FWIW my apply-pullreq script makes this check for this:

if git shortlog --author='qemu-.*@nongnu\.org' master..staging | grep .; then
    echo "ERROR: pull request includes commits attributed to list"
    exit 1
fi

(This doesn't pass --no-mailmap, because git shortlog doesn't
take that option, and the --author match is done on the "true"
author, not the mapped one. This is the kind of orthogonality
in command line UI that we have come to expect from git ;-))
