Use the Friendly Name for the Committer instead of the Committer ID in the Blame windows UI

[mickaellcr]

Hello everyone!

We are using the OIDC Okta for the authentication. So by default, we can add a Friendly name to the UI, (so a nice name, instead of an ID). But I couldn't find how to add the email. Why ?

Because in the Blame windows of a file, as you can see here :

the committer is an ID instead of the username. A quick look at the code and I can see that the Committer() is either the email, or the ID, but not the friendly name.

Is it possible to:

• Customize this Committer field in the blame windows by having the friendly name
• Or being able to add automatically from the auth provider the email
• Add a link on the Committer field to go directly to the User home page (if it makes sense)

If you need more information, feel free to ping me.

Thanks a lot!
