Whatever is in the branch you are looking at? Seems fairly straightforward.

Viewing a specific commit or viewing the repositories' statistics ("insights" tab) both have no attached branch.
in Github or in Git itself? While possible, I don't believe there's many floating commits around.

The other issue of course is that at this point in time, there would not be a .mailmap. Of course, github can then fall back to a .mailmap file in the latest commit of the main branch.

Commits are not usually floating but are very commonly in more than one branch.
