I recently sent a series to enable mailmap support in format patch. The discussion led me to realize that the true problem we wanted solved is to map addresses at send time, so that we do not accidentally include a dead mail address when sending an old change. Instead of worrying about what the formatted patch has, this series implements support for mailmap at the send-email, which will translate all addresses, and not just the author/commit addresses for a patch, but also the email for any trailers.o I considered also that it may be useful to make send-email read a mailmap file from the identity config blocks, but have not figured out how to implement this yet. I ended up needing to extend git check-mailmap to handle addresses without the angle brackets as well. I think this is closer to solving the actual problem we have, which is wanting to avoid adding dead email addresses for coworkers who have moved on, but without completely removing their name from the works.
