Actually gitweb uses uid/user the repository (the $GIT_DIR), unless you provide it with an index file. The simplest way is to click on "TXT" link in projects list page, save it somewhere, edit it, and recompile gitweb with this file as GITWEB_LIST (see README): make ... GITWEB_LIST=<index> gitweb/gitweb.cgi (or just edit gitweb.cgi or gitweb_conf.perl setting $projects_list to this file). Perhaps gitweb should use user.name from the repository instead... P.S.
