The difference in performance and memory usage will only be measurable
with really big mailmap files.  However, it may be an opportunity for
simplifying the mailmap API in general.  Conceptually the map data
should fit into struct repository instead of being read and stored by
each user, right?

Great!  Thanks for stepping back, looking at the bigger
picture and making it prettier.

While longer, the resulting code is split up into more
digestible chunks.
