Oh. Hm. It seems "git check-mailmap" (and get_maintainers.pl) don't
support a way to remove an email address -- only redirect it.

It seems we may want to support "don't use this email address" for more
than just the currently observed rationale. I don't have any good
suggestions for what the format should look like? Perhaps:

"" <address-to-remove@example.com>

?
