I've hit the same issue, it seems to be due to `50vcs-commit` not setting `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME`.

I've fixed it with the following patch:

The formatting rules on this wiki gave me more trouble than the fix though... ;)

Where/how can I contribute this? I've seen multiple github repos, can the author point me to the correct place? Thanks
