I think there's an implicit assumption in this question that isn't
spelled out.  Do I understand correctly that you're saying the main
purpose of .mailmap is to figure out whether two commits are by the
same author?

My own uses of .mailmap primarily have a different purpose: to find
out the preferred contact address for the author of a given commit.

Thanks,
Jonathan
