Just imagine, for example, some git commit --amend which forgets to set the author information; I am not saying that this is happening, but I cannot be sure, because every possible code path to a git commit/commit-tree has to be checked, and this does not mean that future patches will not introduce such broken code, either. It might also be possible that some people scripted rebase -i with a custom "editor" as in the tests (I have done so in the past). They would be affected.
