I am sorry for the bad wording, sorry for wasting your time.

This patch was meant to replace 134d1ac9be2ce97c60a7e9187c32980681811cb5
(current test, latest commit on mailmap-case-insensitivity)

Indeed the patch tests for both bugs unintentionally.
So both the one letter name is being used and the email
case sensitivity is checked.
So maybe I should redo it again and make 2 explicit test cases
for each of the fixes?
