Unexpected behaviour with --UNDEFINED-- Author  #1111

Description

@dicortazar

I've detected an author called --UNDEFINED-- when analyzing the Git Linux Kernel.

This shouldn't be an issue (beyond the fact that this is called as UNDEFINED) as the name can be updated in SortingHat, as well as its affiliation, and other attributes.

However, the SortingHat link in the Affiliations dashboard uses the string --UNDEFINED-- instead of the usual hash, and even when looking for the author hash in SortingHat this does not work. Bbasically replacing in the URL the --UNDEFINED- string by that hash.

I attach some screenshots as they contain just names and well, they are very well known developers of the kernel.

The URL in that link is as follows: https:/xxx/identities/individual/--%20UNDEFINED%20--
