Please just make a patch with it, and post it to lkml and CC Linus and 
Andrew Morton.  Repost a month later if no one picked it up.

I think that 'git log' should really consider the .mailmap by default.  
Otherwise what's the point?   The only time when .mailmap should not be 
considered is when using --pretty=raw or when explicitly told not to.
