msassak and Mike Sassak are seen as one individual

What do you see instead?
I see msassak and Mike Sassak as 2 different individuals

It would be nice to be able to group people who commit as different authors

You can already do by putting a .mailmap file in your git project directory.

If you use `git log --pretty=%aN` (as Gource does) this applies the aliases 
listed in
the .mailmap file in the same directory.

.mailmap files are formatted like:

Alias1 <email@address>
Alias2 <email@address>
...

I hope this helps.
