I do not believe that any such mapping mechanism exists.

Since I keyed our system using an internal CA in a company where
everyone has unique email ids, I ended up issuing Certs with
"/CN=<internal-mail-id>" which are short enough for Subversion use.
That workaround definitely isn't practical in a lot of cases though.

It would be a useful feature, but I don't think it exists nor is on the
priority list of anyone doing development (though it has been mentioned
on the development list, by at least me).
