if you change your list to:

@email_name_map = (
	['torvalds@.*transmeta.com' => 'Linus Torvalds'],
	... 
	['alan@.*swansea.linux.org.uk' => 'Alan Cox'],
	...
	['bcrl@redhat.com' => 'Benjamin LaHaise'],
	['bcrl@.*' => '?? Benjamin LaHaise'],
...);

something along these (untested) lines should do the trick:

sub email2name
{
	my($email) = @_;
	for my $i (@mailmap) {
		my($pattern, $name) = @$i;
		return $name if ($email =~ m/$pattern/i);
	}

	return '??';
}
