Ok, this is much nicer, I think this ends up being much closer to what I 
really wanted, even if I didn't know quite how I wanted it.

I think the "Find" field should highlight things too. Right now there's no 
way to get highlighting for somebody having signed-off on a patch, for 
example, even though you can _search_ for it.

Also, right now it says "Author/committer", but it actually only triggers 
on author. Which may be the right thing to do (it's certainly what I'd 
normally want to see), but it doesn't match the description.
