If we don't add this then the author list will list Emma twice as shown below. That's the point of the .mailmap, to simplify the scenarios where folks contribute from multiple machines or have different aliases, etc.

I've excluded this module from the linting because it is vendored from another project, which allows the CI to pass here.
If reviewers prefer it linted I can do that too, it may just make re-vendoring more annoying in the future if there are upstream changes.

I'll probably expect folks to start helping me with simple merge conflicts as well, because there are going to be a lot in the leadup to the release. |

Related to release management described in MAINT, ENH: library code/manuscript tracking #1.
This patch adds a small script to automatically generate the list of authors that contributed to a given release of our project (I've shamelessly borrowed the script from license-compatible SciPy, where I also do releases...).
We may expect the CI to fail here temporarily for the same reason noted at:
DOC, MAINT: tools script for release notes lists #17 (comment)
Here's a sample of what running the authors script at the moment produces:
python tools/authors.py cd5f6b0732f59..0cfcf3ef443acwhich shows the authors and their commit counts:
