I imagine that there are committers who would like to keep
corresponding software development history a bit more accurate.

Would it be nicer to preserve such data directly also
by the usual mail interface?

This content management tool provides the capability to store
the discussed information by the parameters "--author=" and "--date=",
doesn't it?
Is the environment variable "GIT_AUTHOR_DATE" also interesting occasionally?

How often do you take extra care for passing appropriate data there?
