Bug Description

It would be nice to be able to say
bzr commit --author me --author a-friend
and have me be 'bzr whoami' and a-friend be looked up somewhere, rather
than having to type in long email addresses every time.

Perhaps this deserves a separate bug/feature request, but I think "--author=lp:jml" would be neat! It should be possible via the Launchpad APIs to resolve that into the usual "Real Name <email>" form.
