I never paid attention to this file before, but now that I’ve looked at it, I think it’s supposed to be the way it is: it’s supposed to create an alias from the old name to the new name for Git tracking purposes. I looked it up here: https://lukasmestan.com/using-mailmap-in-git-repository/ If I understand it correctly, applying your patch would cause the name change to be ignored in old Git history. Which doesn’t seem like the right thing at all. |

Found the commit title "Fix my name" interesting and the fact that it was 10 years old, so I looked at it and noticed that
.mailmaphad incorrect names and it bothered me too much not to create a PR.Sorry if this is weird.
