Here is a script to display the entries I was referring to:
---
#!/bin/bash

git shortlog -sne |awk '{ NF--; $1=""; print }' |sort |uniq -d > mailmapdoubles

while read line ; do
	# remove leading whitespace
	trimmed=$(echo $line | sed -e 's/^ *//g' -e 's/ *$//g')
	echo "git shortlog -sne | grep \""$trimmed"\""
done < mailmapdoubles > mailmapdoubles2


sh mailmapdoubles2
rm mailmapdoubles
rm mailmapdoubles2
