Right now, on my github mirror all committers have names autogenerated by
git-svn. For example: "patearl <patearl@d2eaab8a-a80d-0410-be94-99ecdb4ea5df>".

Git filter-branch should be used to change all commits and map those
autogenerated names to the actual github accounts (e.g. the email used for
https://github.com/patearl ), otherwise all commits are pretty much
anonymous, detached from their actual owners.
Here's a sample script that does this for a single user:
http://progit.org/book/ch6-4.html#changing_email_addresses_globally
The filter-branch docs also has some examples about this:

Cheers,
Mauricio
