OK. The last part needed a reading and a half for me to realize the "echoes the provided contact information" is the same thing as "the "input string is printed as-is", especially because "contact information" is not defined anywhere in the previous part of the DESCRIPTION section, though. I might be worth starting the paragraph with:

	For each contact information (either in the form of ``Name
	<user@host>'' or ...)

in order to clarify that the two forms of input is what you call "contact information".

Is there a reason why the variable name should not match that of the corresponding variables in check-ignore and check-attr, which you copied the bulk of the code from?

If there isn't, use "null_term_line" like they do.

This mis-indentation looks somewhat unfortunate, but they are shared with other check-blah, and they are meant to contain a rather long string, so let's keep it like so.

Is there a reason why the variable name "term" should not match that of the corresponding variables in check-ignore and check-attr, which you copied the bulk of the code from?

If there isn't, use "line_termination" like they do.

It is a bit distracting that the second line that is not indented enough. Either (1) with enough HT and with minimum number of SP, align "argc" and "check_mailmap_usage", or (2) with minimum number of HT and no SP, push "check_mailmap_usage" to the right of opening parenthesis of "(argc". Our code tend to prefer (1).

As we can read from HEAD:.mailmap these days, the patch is correct that it does not require NEED_WORK_TREE here.

Thanks.
