See git(1), section "Environment Variables":
git Commits
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, GIT_AUTHOR_DATE,
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME, GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL, GIT_COMMITTER_DATE,
EMAIL
see git-commit-tree(1)
or you can use GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT. See output
of "git var -l" to get form of it.

For that, I think it would be best to take a look at example
fast-import script: contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl;
there is equivalent contrib/fast-import/import-zips.py if you
perfer either Pyhon over Perl, and/or zips over tarballs.
