The unique identifier in git is the e-mail address so matching towards a Jenkins account on user name is really bad. In some cases, like for example push-review tests with Gerrit, you do not need to match to a Jenkins account at all, just use the e-mail address in the commit when sending feedback.
Option #1 (Try looking up a user's email and comparing that.) is definitely the way this should be implemented.
Option #3 (Looking up the user's email in LDAP, if LDAP is being used.) would be a great bonus.
Option #2 (Using the user portion from the email (e.g. [email protected] becomes someuser).) is just as bad is matching on user name and solves nothing.
We are a big company and with a lot of people, some do have the exact same names so now we have users getting e-mail feedback on git commits they are not the author of.
