I'm of two minds whether it's an "issue" actually.

get_maintainer is not the only tool used to create email
address lists.

Some actually read files like MAINTAINERS or .dts or .yaml
files directly to find maintainer addresses.

So If your name and email address is listed in an source file
where nominally active email addresses are entered then I
believe .mailmap should not modify it.

So I believe email addresses in each file should be updated
in preference to using a mailmap entry for nominally active
email addresses in these files.
