Actually the bug is not as simple as you might think.

It would be trivial to fix Nautilus/GVFS to map the URL sftp://<email address hidden> to sftp://<email address hidden>/home/mikko.

However this violates the URI specification RFC r3986 as discussed in the upstream https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561998

sftp://<email address hidden>

should be same as

sftp://<email address hidden>/

which is effective the server root folder.

Command-line SFTP does not respect URI specification in the first place.

The suggested fix was to have sftp://<email address hidden> to do a "SFTP specific redirect" to sftp://<email address hidden>/home/mikko.
