Description

It seems that #6710 added supported to toggle showing full names, but commit messages still show the full name of the Gitea user. This is confirmed by changing the full name under account to anything else, which the commit author then takes on.

The commit graph has the same issue, although I do believe it (and other portions) are linked to the same thing.

The user heatmap and other areas such as pull requests behave as expected, respecting the DEFAULT_SHOW_FULL_NAME config setting when set to false and only showing the username.

Expected behaviour: The author section under commits shows the username of the user, and not their full name.

Having an option/toggle for this would be extremely helpful. To ensure consistent username display site-wide with regards to repos.
