Another comment: why did you change from checking of "!defined $owner"
to checking "!$owner"? git_get_project_config('owner') returns undef
if gitweb.owner is not defined. With checking for defined we can avoid
false positives of owner being "0" (in practice I think this does not
matter) or "" (this could happen if somebody doesn't want for project
to have owner shown).

The idea was for empty lines to separate blocks of code: variables 
declaration, initialization, finding an owner, and return value.
So I think that empty lines are not needed here. There were no empty 
lines between check for owner in the structure populated by 
git_get_project_list_from_file() and checking filesystem stat for 
project directory owner.

By the way, the git_get_project_list_from_file() interface is a bit 
strange...

No. I think using "if (!defined $foo) { maybe define foo }..."
sequence is a good flow.

And with signoff corrected, I assume?

Please try to check if the code works with and without gitweb.owner set 
before sending new version of the patch...
