Not a problem. I hadn't until very recently completely understood the format of the .mailmap file (in that the correct items are always to be on the left), so I didn't think anything of it when reviewing the commit. Perhaps I should come up with a patch to the documentation to make it easier for past me to understand.

I only recently realized that with my transition to a separate mail server (in September), the crustytoothpaste.ath.cx address doesn't actually work, and when perusing the output of git log, realized that it was the wrong way around.
