When gerrit sends mails like: «Little Red Riding Hood has posted comments on this change.» it is sometimes hard to determine if it's one of your changes (and you should act on the feedback) or you were just added as a reviewer but never even looked at it. Please change to: «Little Red Riding Hood has posted comments on this change by Granny.» This is also desirable for the "has submitted this change" mails, although less important, given that they are preceded by one of the other ones.
We can customize any of the e-mail templates. Documentation is: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/Documentation/config-mail.html The customized versions are stored in the puppet repo, and we can easily add any that aren't currently customized (they're in files/gerrit/mail/)
Indeed, the $patchSetInfo variable has both author and committer values attached to it.
