Yeah, that might be useful. Especially one issue is that trailers like "Reviewed-by: ...", "Helped-by: ..." are interesting for statistics and replacing their content with mapped results could help improve the stats. Related to this, I wonder if `git interpret-trailers` should have a simple way to map trailer content.
