Having a separate implementation to read and apply mailmaps makes me worried that it will behave slightly differently than the C code, especially around corner cases. Is it possible for us to ask git programs that are called by gitweb to do the conversion for us (e.g., by passing "--use-mailmap" or using "%aE" and "%aN" formatters)? I won't be surprised if the answer is "no, we access commits using lower-level plumbing". But it's worth looking into, I think, if you didn't already. -Peff
