Hello Florian.
There is at least an oddity with get_maintainer handling of a .mailmap entry form.
For instance:
Mauro's .mailmap entry is: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@kernel.org> <maurochehab@gmail.com> <mchehab@infradead.org> <mchehab@redhat.com> <m.chehab@samsung.com> <mchehab@osg.samsung.com> <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
Is this a valid form?
get_maintainer output for Mauro is:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl drivers/media/ -f Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@kernel.org> <maurochehab@gmail.com> <mchehab@infradead.org> <mchehab@redhat.com> <m.chehab@samsung.com> <mchehab@osg.samsung.com> (maintainer:MEDIA INPUT INFRASTRUCTURE (V4L/DVB))
I believe the Mauro's and Shuah's .mailmap entries are improper and should be changed, but I'm not completely aware of git .mailmap handling and the documentation seems weakly specified.

Maybe get_maintainer.pl needs a change or perhaps this patch is appropriate. --- .mailmap | 12 ++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
