I am imagining a pair of new options to name people (all OR'ed) and

is not more than illustration of an idea and not my recommendation,
but a command:
git log --by="Max Coplan" --by="Junio C Hamano" \
--by-where=author,Signed-off-by,Co-authored-by
would find a commit that has one (or more) of the given names
in one (or more) of the places that are specified, where the places
can be either "author", "committer" to specify these headers in the
commit object, or random other string to specify trailer lines with
given keys.
I like this, yesterday[1] I didn't have a clear idea in my head of how
such an option should work but I think passing the names and the fields
to match those names against as two separate options is a good idea.
