So do I understand it right, we're having 2 bugs in here?
One being triggered by the short name, only one character.
So if you want to debug the other bug with a longer name,
you can either use a made up name, or run
git shortlog -sne |grep Knut
in the git repository having the mailmap file already updated.
The way the mailmap file is written, I'd assume only one line
to be found, as of now 2 lines come up
2 Knut Franke <knut.fra...@gmx.de>
1 Knut Franke <knut.fra...@gmx.de>
which seems to downcase the whole first email.
