Another option is to add an entry in .mailmap for
your correct new and incorrect old addresses.

diff --git a/.mailmap b/.mailmap
index 353ad56..218765d 100644

This will only work after get_maintainers is patched
to correctly parse the .mailmap entries that use this form.

I'll chat with Florian to correct this.

cheers, Joe
