Isn't that stored by gitorious? Just look at http://qt.gitorious.org/qt and 
you see many things like "blablub pushed xyz". So the data is right there (the 
interface to must be changed to be real useful for you, but gitorious has that 
data). The current display seems to be proken somehow so it isn't possible to 
say who pushed that specific commit, but I can tell it for many other pushes.

So for example Qt by Nokia is used to push commits made by Martin Jones. This 
enough data to know who is to blame for that specific commit to the master 
repo. Maybe gitorious must contacted to know why 
3cb304990f81799e6811b699b6b6ad1c32ec1107 is only shown as commit and not as 
part of a push and if the data is real available.
