Improve matching for gitlab users

[73VW]

Hello there 👋🏻,

Actually, the comparison between the user having commited and gitlab users is done this way:

if user['name'] == commit['author_name']:

which I find too strict.

Sadly, Gitlag does not include the username in the commits API. That would have been the best way to go.

However, I think that a comparison ignoring accents and case could really improve the matching. Chances that two commiters with the names Bob example and Bob Example are two different people are IMHO very slim.

If the Gitlab user is set to Bob Exämple, no commits would match.

What do you think?

I can open a PR to improve this.

Hi @73VW - thanks for the suggestion.
I don't have data to prove or disprove that name matching is an issue, but being a bit more loose (under a setting?) might indeed be interesting.

Feel free to submit a PR.
