I don't, either, but these two entries describe the same person. One option that I didn't give other old-and-now-left-the-project contributors in my previous message (but I should have) is to let them say: I left the project, you can use my existing contributions, but I prefer you not to list my current address in your address book. The reason I didn't but I think I should have is because mailmap is not meant to record the current address to be used to contact the person. Its primary purpose is to make sure we group contributions by the same person under a single name. So in that sense, it is OK if they choose to give us the address they used the last time they contributed, even that address no longer works. I'd suggest using the lavabit address unless we hear the preferred address from her, as the lavabit address was used in 5bf46841 (git-gui: update Japanese translation, 2010-02-02), while the last use of the bluebottle address was in 6762079a (Cloning from a repo without "current branch", 2007-06-16).
