Here is a script to display the entries I was referring to:
---
#!/bin/bash
git shortlog -sne |awk '{ NF--; $1=""; print }' |sort |uniq -d > mailmapdoubles
while read line ; do
# remove leading whitespace
trimmed=$(echo $line | sed -e 's/^ *//g' -e 's/ *$//g')
echo "git shortlog -sne | grep \""$trimmed"\""
done < mailmapdoubles > mailmapdoubles2
sh mailmapdoubles2
rm mailmapdoubles
rm mailmapdoubles2
