signing tags: user.name assumed to be gpg uid?

Como esta, git?

I notice that after I init and config user.name and user.email the user.comment gets taken from ~/.gpg automatically. Is it a correct behaviour? And, when I try git tag v0.1 -s I get : === gpg: skipped "Peter Vereshagin <peter@vereshagin.org>": secret key not available === and this is because I need to config user.name with the gpg comment: when I === git config --global user.name "Peter Vereshagin (http://vereshagin.org)" === the git tag signs well. But is it a correct behaviour to need the comment as a user's name? On key editing the gpg makes difference between (N)ame and (C)omment by far.
