docs(changelog): add consolidated v3.8.50 stats, top-25 ranking and a .mailmap

Two things, and the second is the reason the first is trustworthy. .mailmap: between 2026-08-13 and 2026-08-26 this checkout carried a `git config --local` pairing one contributor's name (Xiangzhe / @xz-dev) with ANOTHER contributor's email (@backryun). 237 commits made here were therefore signed with @backryun's address. The timezone split is unambiguous: @backryun's own work commits from +0900 throughout the window and never stopped, while all 237 came from -0300, this machine. No repository file sets that address, so it was a local config mix-up, not anything in the codebase. The local override is now removed; the global identity was correct all along. History is NOT rewritten: those commits live on release/v3.8.50 and release/v3.8.51, which open PRs and other sessions build on, and the v3.8.50 tag was cut from that line. .mailmap repairs the record for log/shortlog/blame — the git-native answer for exactly this — without a force-push. main is unaffected: releases squash-merge, so it carries none of the 237. Stats: counts measured, not estimated — 1,714 commits and 248 people over ed2db6cb19..v3.8.50, 1,666 distinct PR refs, and the 1,182 changelog entries broken down by type. The top-25 ranking uses the consolidated identities, so @backryun keeps their 88 real cycle commits and the misattributed 68 return to the maintainer.

+# .mailmap — canonical author identities for git log/shortlog/blame.
+#
+# Why this file exists: between 2026-08-13 and 2026-08-26 this checkout carried a
+# `git config --local` whose user.name was one contributor's ("Xiangzhe" / @xz-dev)
+# and whose user.email was ANOTHER contributor's (@backryun). Every commit produced
+# on this machine in that window was therefore signed with @backryun's address —
+# 237 commits, all in the -0300 timezone, while @backryun's own work commits from
+# +0900 and continued normally throughout. The local override was removed on
+# 2026-08-26; this file repairs the RECORD without rewriting published history
+# (those commits live on release/v3.8.50 and release/v3.8.51, which other sessions
+# and open PRs build on — a rewrite would force-push both and orphan the v3.8.50 tag).
+#
+# Format: Canonical Name <canonical@email> Commit Name <commit@email>
+
+# --- Maintainer: several addresses used over the project's life ---

 ### ✨ New Features
 - **feat(search):** first-class X Search provider (`x-search`) on `POST /v1/search` and MCP `omniroute_x_search` using SuperGrok / xAI server-side `x_search`. Explicit provider or `search_type: "x"` only — never auto-selected for web. Reuses `xai-oauth` / `xao` / `xai` credentials. Not the X Developer Platform MCP. ([#10985](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/10985))
 - **feat(core):** add Layer A capability filter at router (#5696)
