I think it's probably not worth the effort to make the necessary changes
to "rev-list --header" Junio mentioned, just for gitweb.

I agree it's a bit worrisome to have a second parser that could
potentially behave slightly differently than the main implementation.
What if we added tests for gitweb's mailmap parsing based on the same
cases used for Git itself?
