I noticed a few days ago that CC's to bmwill@google.com bounce. Has he left Google, and if so is he still interested in being CC'd on Git stuff (maybe he'll chime in), or not interested?

Aside from that particular address bouncing (or not, maybe Google's MX just dislikes me), it would be nice if git {format-patch,send-email,check-contacts} & the .mailmap format would support and understand some way to map addresses to e.g. noreply@example.com, and prune them out appropriately. We have a lot of addresses from past authors which bounce, and where no current contact address is known.
