For now I changed my git config to:

[author]
name = Steven Rostedt
[commiter]
name = Steven Rostedt
[user]
name = Steven Rostedt (Google)
email = rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx

Which makes what shows up in the shortlog with just my name (and git
blame as well), but the commits still have:

Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Which may be a good compromise.
