[PATCH v1 1/2] log: add warning for unspecified log.mailmap setting

From
Ariadne Conill <ariadne@dereferenced.org>

Message-ID
<20190712155901.19210-2-ariadne@dereferenced.org>
In-Reply-To
<20190712155901.19210-1-ariadne@dereferenced.org>

Based on discussions around changing the log.mailmap default to being enabled, it was decided that a transitional period is required.

Accordingly, we announce this transitional period with a warning message.
