I don't think so. Recently, I've been trying to track a particular patch in the kernel. It was done as a series of commits, and probably would have been its own branch in bzr, but when I was trying to group the commits together to analyze them as a group, the easiest way to do that was by the original committer's name.
Now, there's probably a better way to hunt that stuff down, but in this case hunting the user down worked for me. (It may have made a difference that I was using gitweb instead of a local clone.)
And the case of hunting down your own commits is just a degenerate case of hunting down someone else's.
