Change display format for Git Blame gutter name
In my company (multiple organisations with sister/parent companies etc) we have our Github account names dictated in the format:
Lastname, Firstname (Position - Company)
For example:
Smith, John (Software Engineer - Acme)
In IntelliJ when you right click in the gutter and select “Annotate with Git Blame” it displays the name as “Acme)”, presumably because IntelliJ just takes the final word from the whole name. This works for normal names ("John Smith") but not when we have these corporate names given to us. The end result is that it's impossible to tell who actually made the change from the gutter as they all just say “Acme)”, so you must hover the mouse over the name to see the full commit details including the full name.
Is there any way to format the displayed name differently? Or perhaps I can open a feature request for this.
Thanks.

Hi,
Does the following setting help:
Hi Dino,
Yes this does mostly solve the issue. The problem with Full Name is that they can be very long!
First Name mostly does the trick, displaying as “Smith,”, but that's a large improvement over just “Acme)”.
Thank you
Indeed, what about filtering my email only?
Thank you Dino Letic, that helped a lot!
