I think it's probably not worth the effort to make the necessary changes to "rev-list --header" Junio mentioned, just for gitweb. I agree it's a bit worrisome to have a second parser that could potentially behave slightly differently than the main implementation. What if we added tests for gitweb's mailmap parsing based on the same cases used for Git itself?
