Would be nice if StGIT honored GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL if they are 
set and took them as default. Would be more plug'n'play, I was rather 
surprised why stg export gave me From: <>.

I have zero python knowledge to make a patch, sorry.

Indeed, that's a bug. The GIT commit is properly created since GIT
will use the environment but the export and mail commands are not
aware of this (they only use the ~/.stgitrc or .git/stgitrc files).

Thanks for pointing out.
