   @julianhyde yes, apart from helping `git log` as you suggest, it is also 
used by GitHub itself to link multiple email addresses under the same account. 
   
   By mistake I have used "@apache.com" in one of my recent commits around 
Cassandra and I couldn't add this email address to GitHub as it couldn't be 
verified (because it's invalid).
   
   Adding it to the .mailmap file allowed GitHub to compute the commit count 
correctly. Please note that it takes ~24h to update it.
