It seems to work for me. I'm getting the name of the committer.
What does git log 677cdde6477cc92b7779d4239df66d6c8ced7aba -n 1 look like?``

This is how it looks, still no author name.

This is not an issue with Git or GitPython
Your commit has the email address in both the fields (author name and email ID).
A commit with a proper author name specified, looks like this:

Author: Scott Chacon [email protected]

changed the version number

Agreed; someone set their git user.name to their email address in that case (or perhaps never set their git user.name at all).

The whole repository gives the same result. i felt the .mailmap file was missing.i have raised a issue there too. Thanks for helping out.
