bzr-stats should be able to figure out what authors are the same by looking at the full names.

Ideally, Bazaar would need to have some mechanism to allow aliasing
different identities, much like git's .mailmap feature. Even if we do
warn people when a default identity is being used, you can't really
expect people's email addresses to never change.
