`man git shortlog` (from git 2.45.0) has the following:

Limit the commits output to ones with author/committer header lines
that match the specified pattern (regular expression). With more
than one --author=<pattern>, commits whose author matches any of
the given patterns are chosen (similarly for multiple
--committer=<pattern>).
Now `git shortlog --author=gerald` works as expected.
However `git shortlog --committer=gerald` results in an error:
error: option `committer' takes no value
This is either a doc bug or an implementation issue?
Also, how does one list all commits by a certain committer (as opposed
to author) then?
Thanks,

I think this is not implemented for shortlog, and the man page is
confusing. The --author=<pattern>/--committer=<pattern> section in
git-shortlog(1) (Documentation/git-shortlog.txt) is just included from
git-rev-list(1) (Documentation/rev-list-options.txt), but only the
--committer argument documented in the "parent" git-shortlog.txt is valid.
