depends on which commits you speak of,
if it is a local commit it is a local configuration issue like H-P says,
if it is a commit that you pulled from sourceware.org which was
converted from the cvs server you lack an entry in the authors.txt
file which is mentioned here:
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/UsingGit#importing-from-cvs
lacking said entry it then just defaults to <username>
i'm not sure where this file resides, presumably somewhere on sourceware.org
