[RFC/PATCH] gitweb: linkify author/committer names with search

From: Stephen Boyd <hidden>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

It's nice to search for an author by merely clicking on their name in
gitweb. This is usually faster than selecting the name, copying the
selection, pasting it into the search box, selecting between
author/committer and then hitting enter.

Cc'ed Jakub as he seems to be resident gitweb expert. 

I thought this might be a nice addition.

The problem is I can't get it to work with UTF-8 characters. I'm not sure
if it's my system or not, so I'm just posting here to see if others
experience the same problem and if there's interest.
