This is a knee-jerk response to two facts: - the author_ident_sufficiently_given() function is public but nobody uses it; - a corresponding function committer_ident_sufficiently_given() is used to determine when to add "Committer: " reminder in the log message editor. The existing logic decides to show "Author:" reminder when the author is different from the committer, so there won't be practical difference other than we would end up showing both reminders when a committer with iffy name derived from the heuristic is committing her own patch. Which means this patch probably should be dropped.
