Git can natively map names. This keeps a mailmap in this repository and copies it in the (temporarily) cloned repositories if it doesn't exist. Then it relies on git to do the right thing. The mailmap is not a complete translation of the existing mapping since it also contains people who haven't contributed in a long time. It also adds a few missing items.
