I don't think so.  Recently, I've been trying to track a particular
patch in the kernel.  It was done as a series of commits, and probably
would have been its own branch in bzr, but when I was trying to group
the commits together to analyze them as a group, the easiest way to do
that was by the original committer's name.

Now, there's probably a better way to hunt that stuff down, but in this
case hunting the user down worked for me.  (It may have made a
difference that I was using gitweb instead of a local clone.)

And the case of hunting down your own commits is just a degenerate case
of hunting down someone else's.
