yes, subversion does support it, but my particular repository didn't
have any.  This may be because of how my svn client was configured.  I
did see the stuff on user name mapping and was prepared to do a
re0import, but looking at my svn repo, there was no author(committer)
listed, so there was nothing to map.

Subversion commits do have an author assotiated with them as far as I
know.
The problem is that Git uses another approach (better) for this and
when importing a Subversion repository you have to arrange for proper
mapping.
So, if you don't mind re-importing these repositories read the git-svn-
fetch manual about the --authors-file or --authors-prog options; also
see [1] which contains a detailed explanation (if you want to
*convert* an svn repo to Git as opposed to just synchronize them, you
will also probably want to convert certain remote branches git-svn-
fetch creates to git tags and normal local branches; than guide
explains this).
