If you want to restrict to 'Max Reitz', but without it it will simply
take all mails from <mreitz@>. IMO KISS, no need to filter by name in
your case :)

No, why? The "preferred name forms" section seems adequate.

What is nice with .mailmap is the combination with ./get_maintainers.pl,
in particular when it defaults looking at commit history. If you
Sob/Acked a commit as Max, the script (call by git-send-email) will
replace it by Hanna.

For the contribution statistics, all your previous contributions as Max
will be directly shown as Hanna (along with your future ones).
