Plugins/slack: commit author shown empty

A collaborator’s username shown as empty in the slack notification when the git commit is registered with an email not known to github:
image
All the while, the web ui (build available publicly here) displays the nickname correctly.

Both notifications and web ui info are always shown correctly users when the git commit author’s email matches their github account email.

While the issue could probably be solved by registering the git email address with github, it’s still strange (and looks like a bug) that the the slack notification is broken even when the web ui is able to display the nickname correctly.
