Comment (by jollyroger):

 I've remembered another possible caveat with using email address. Even
 buildbot has some examples: simply run '''`git log | grep Author: | sort |
 uniq`''' . So how many emails does Dustin have? And the same picture is
 for lots of other repositories. This is mostly a problem to make a precise
 statistics per person but we still could use this to have a description
 and email to blame for a broken build. I've seen Redmine project has a
 possibility to map repository id's to the id's of the accounts inside this
 software. Some semi-automatic matching rules are available there (if email
 matches strictly, for example) but you always can change things manually.
 Once this is done, association of the commits in VCS and Redmine user
 allows to have a better navigation and linking.
