That's somewhat strange paring of quotation marks (the same appears
later in the proposed log message).

I'd retitle to

    pretty: add "%aL" etc. to show local-part of email addresses

and rewrite this
Displaying only the author's username saves a lot of columns on the screen.
For example displaying "prarit" instead of "prarit@redhat.com" saves 11
columns.

Add a "%aL"|"%al|%cL|%cl" option that output the local-part of an email
address.
like so:

    Existing 'e/E' (as in "%ae" and "%aE") placeholders would show
    the author's address as "prarit@redhat.com", which would waste
    columns to show the same domain-part for all contributors when
    used in redhat-only project.  Introduce 'l/L' placeholders that
    strip '@' and domain part from the e-mail address.

if I were explaining this patch.

In a document like RFC2822 that is clearly about e-mail, the phrase
"local-part" alone would be sufficient to convey what we are talking
about, but not here.  Let's say "email local-part" to qualify.  That
would also allow us to shorten the explanation in the parentheses,
perhaps like so?

Nicely done.

Overall, looking quite better.

Thanks.
