Does .mailmap work for github?

[skirpichev]

For example: the repo with .mailmap and here the list of contributors. It seems, some commits attributed to unknown person:
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/commits?author=wmark

git-check-mailmap works for me, e.g.:

$ git check-mailmap 'David Roberts (dvdr18 [at] gmail [dot] com) <devnull@localhost>'
David Roberts <dvdr18@gmail.com>

We don't use .mailmap. For the commit list, we'll just use the name and email attached to the commit, and for the contributors page we'll try to associate a commit email address to a GitHub user through their email addresses on their account.

Then why is this:
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/commits?author=wmark
?

Not sure exactly what's going on there without looking at the email addresses directly, but it's likely a mismatched email in common:

Not very helpful.
