Actually you want to *not ignore* .gitignore and .mailmap (and
.gitattributes which is missing here) anywhere, not only as top-level
file.  So .gitignore and .mailmap should not be prepended with slash.

   #
   # Top-level generic files
   #
  -tags
  -TAGS
  -linux
  -vmlinux
  -vmlinuz
  -System.map
  -Module.markers
  -Module.symvers
  +/tags
  +/TAGS
  +/linux
  +/vmlinux
  +/vmlinuz
  +/System.map
  +/Module.markers
  +/Module.symvers
   !.gitignore
   !.mailmap
