I must not be understanding your point correctly.

$ git shortlog v6.4.. -s --author="Matthew Wilcox"
     7  Matthew Wilcox
     1  Matthew Wilcox (Novartis)
   123  Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)

That seems to me like it successfully distinguishes my fake commit on
behalf of Novartis (who I haven't actually worked for since 1997) from
my real commits on behalf of Oracle.  It also shows a few places where
my commits weren't attributed to Oracle (I think this happens when I
send patches using mutt instead of git-send-email)
