I made a try by updating .mailmap with adding a new entry with my @foss.st.com email :

Pali Rohár <pali@xxxxxxxxxx> <pali.rohar@xxxxxxxxx>
Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@xxxxxxxx>
+Patrice Chotard <patrice.chotard@xxxxxxxxxxx> <patrice.chotard@xxxxxx>
Patrick Mochel <mochel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Paul Burton <paulburton@xxxxxxxxxx> <paul.burton@xxxxxxxxxx>

But when running ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/sti.yaml, by old email is still displayed

Rob Herring <robh+dt@xxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:OPEN FIRMWARE AND FLATTENED DEVICE TREE BINDINGS)
Patrice Chotard <patrice.chotard@xxxxxx> (in file)
devicetree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list:OPEN FIRMWARE AND FLATTENED DEVICE TREE BINDINGS)
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list)

By default, the get_maintainer.pl script is using .mailmap file ($email_use_mailmap = 1).

It seems there is an issue with get_maintainer.pl and maintainer name/e-mail found in yaml file ?

Thanks
