Eliminating the space in a generic way isn't trivial; the author column is set to a fixed width intentionally so that the column alignment doesn't change when you scroll up and down and a long author gets scrolled into or out of view (this is what currently happens in the commits view when you are in an interactive rebase and you scroll down so that all the "pick" items scroll out of view; I find this rather ugly).

But we recently made a change (not released yet) to make the width of the author column configurable; would that be enough to solve it for you?
