How do I change the default author and committer in the Eclipse Git plugin?


I am using the Git plugin for Eclipse. I have several authors and committers which are displayed when I start typing in those fields.

How can I provide changes to this list, or remove some author or committer?

Also, I want to set my default author and committer which will be displayed by default.
