No, Mithral "An item made from mithral weighs half as much as the same item made from other metals. In the case of weapons, this lighter weight does not change a weapon's size category or the ease with which it can be wielded (whether it is light, one-handed, or two-handed). Items not primarily of metal are not meaningfully affected by being partially made of mithral. (A longsword can be a mithral weapon, while a quarterstaff cannot.) Mithral weapons count as silver for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction."
Mithral weapons have little use (in terms of game mechanics) and aren't cost effective.
They do overcome damage reduction silver without taking a -1 to damage that normal silver weapons incur.
...and are sexy.

Why is that dependent on the GM?

Depending on how often your GM sunders.
Anything made from Mithral is also automatically masterwork without having to pay the extra cost and can be enchanted.
Mithrail = Sexy, and sex appeal wins at everything.
A nonmagical mithral weapon has the same attack and damage as a +1 silver weapon. Of course, unless we're talking about a weapon originally weighing 8 pounds or less, the magic silver weapon is cheaper.
