This is certainly interesting, though slightly different, as the
owners aren't attached to email authors, like in the commits. Still
though, something worth exploring. There are a number of options for
this. I could add a filter wrapper around the owner column values. Or,
I could implement the search capability directly in cgit. Or other
things.

First, though -- is repo.or.cz considering moving to cgit from its
modified gitweb? Is this a serious investigation into cgit as a
replacement?

We have the noplainemail config flag already. Perhaps this could be
phased out, preferring the email-filter and commit-filter instead.
