.mailmap hasn't been updated in 4 years; AUTHORS.md is generated from .mailmap via authors.ts, and has only been edited twice in the past 4 years, once to make it generated, and another to add another name (but, without modifying .mailmap, oops).

As far as I can tell, we don't actually need this for any requirement, and its current state seems to imply we don't need it.

Maybe I should just leave this for a bit, until people have cleaned their script dirs enough for it to not be an annoyance.

Nah, I have already done similar for other files. It'll be clear if some random file sneaks into a PR.
