Sources considered by gitweb are:
1. projectlist file
2. owner key in .git/config ("gitweb.owner")
3. file owner of the git dir

It's funny this results in an empty owner in your case: What does 
"finger erez.silber" say?

Use the source, Luke ;)

sub git_get_project_owner {
         my $project = shift;
         my $owner;

         return undef unless $project;
         $git_dir = "$projectroot/$project";

         if (!defined $gitweb_project_owner) {
                 git_get_project_list_from_file();
         }

         if (exists $gitweb_project_owner->{$project}) {
                 $owner = $gitweb_project_owner->{$project};
         }
         if (!defined $owner){
                 $owner = git_get_project_config('owner');
         }
         if (!defined $owner) {
                 $owner = get_file_owner("$git_dir");
         }

         return $owner;
}
