ISTR?
That patch doesn't work when importing from sourceforge (among others), because no-one uses their devname@users.sourceforge.net address (and often just filter them out because they attract so much spam). It also does nothing for when the username isn't the leading part of the email-addres, or for GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, which is the most disturbing since it ruffles the shortlog output. We use that shortlog to get a gisted changelog for the sales and marketing people. I can recommend this. They're absolutely thrilled to see things like "Only use vararg macros #ifdef __GNUC__" and "declare **envp const throughout mplex api". ;)
Anyways, I can keep this separate if you don't want to accept it. I'll most likely implement some config-reading to it too though so I don't have to type the repository name and such each time I run it.
