I thought GIT_COMMITTER_{NAME,EMAIL} were added to be able to override
the defaults like username@localmachine.

The latest StGIT snapshot uses, by default, the committer's details
for the From: line when sending patches by e-mail, assuming that this
is a valid e-mail address. One can define his own e-mail template and
use a different From: line but I thought it would be simpler to
provide some defaults based on this.

If StGIT users don't like this default template, I can change it.
