With .mailmap, you can generate a AUTHORS with only one address by authors
(the first of .mailmap)

For exemple with git log
if you use : git log --format='%aN %aE' | sort -u

Git use .mailmap and there is no duplicate author entry

if you use : git log --format='%an %ae' | sort -u
(note miniscules n and e)
Git don't use .mailmap, and there is duplicate author entry

I hope, i have respond to your question...
