I think the script works correctly. According to the mailmap documentation the order is supposed to be 

<proper at email.xx> <commit at email.xx>

I'd expect the first email in the mailmap to be the proper email to send things like GA votes to, whereas the second one can be one of potentially multiple other emails that commits could be under. So multiple second emails would be used to aggregate commits to a single proper email address to be used for GA purposes.
