feature: emit both email and name
Today, I was working to leverage git-fame to infer the "Authors" and "Maintainers" of a project (contributors). For these fields, I'd like to have both the email and name of these contributors. When I went to invoke git-fame, however, I see that it will emit the name or the email but not both. I've hacked together this monstrosity to zip those together, but it would be so much nicer to get the name and email in one go.
Would you consider an option to include both email and name in the output?
Unfortunately, I think your code is also not working. It is possible that the number of rows in each output is different. For example, I have this problem with the matplotlib repo. The output of the Table with names contains 33 more rows than the table with emails. I would also like an option to print both name and email in one table.
Oh, gosh. Yeah, I was making that assumption. Fortunately, that assumption has held for the trivial repos against which I'm relying on it currently, but it'll surely break when that's not the case. Thanks for the heads up.
I didn't implement this because I knew it would be difficult to safely handle complex cases lacking a comprehensive .mailmap... happy to accept a PR though!

I'd be interested in exploring the issue or even sponsoring the work, but I'm a little uneasy investing into a project that's shown signs of abandonment, and where I might get a response once or twice a year. What can I do to ensure that any proposed changes aren't stalled by limited bandwidth of the maintainer?
(to be sure, I also have very limited bandwidth for open source, so I'm not complaining; I'm merely seeking clarity on what to expect with this project with respect to a feature change)
Hey @jaraco thanks for your interest in supporting open source! I understand your frustration and have written and spoken about your concerns ^os-ill,^os-bad.
At the moment to only way to guarantee dedicated, hyper-responsive, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed support from me personally is via the one-off or monthly sponsor links.

I respect that. Thanks for the context. I'm not yet sure how I'll proceed, but I'll update here if/when I do.
#108 is a proposal to add the parameter. Please take a look and let me know what you think.
