It is possible. Simply enter "author:Kai Blin" (without space between ':' and your name as it appears in author field) in the searchbox, and you would get an URL similar to the URL below:

  http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=git%2Fgit.git&a=search&h=HEAD&s=author%3AJonas+Fonseca

Of course you should first go to proper branch. If you are giving the link, you can write it in more human-friendly form, e.g.

  http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=git/git.git;a=search;h=HEAD;s=author:Jonas+Fonseca

Or you can just search for your name, which gives URL like this one

  http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=git/git.git;a=search;h=HEAD;s=Jonas+Fonseca

which will find all commits in the lineage of given branch (HEAD is the current branch) which have specified phrase in commit log (which includes signoff lines)

You can always read the list using one of the many archives of git@vger.kernel.org list, or using Usenet (news) client via NNTP gateway at GMane (nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git).
