No, it isn't. It is possible to have a patch authored by someone that
didn't sign. We don't usually accept it at the Kernel (on exceptional
cases, we might end accepting patches without SOB), but other projects
that use git may not require SOB.

Git should take it from the author's name at your git tree. You
can change it with git filter-branch. Something like:
git filter-branch -f --commit-filter '
if [ "$GIT_COMMITTER_NAME" = "My Name" ];
then
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Other Name";
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="other@email";
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="my@email";
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=$GIT_COMMITTER_DATE;
git commit-tree "$@";
else
git commit-tree "$@";
fi' tag1..tag2
Btw, you can also use filter-branch to rename things at the code, e. g.:
git filter-branch -f --tree-filter 'for i in $(git grep -l MEDIA_ENT_T_AV_BRIDGE); do sed s,MEDIA_ENT_T_AV_BRIDGE,MEDIA_ENT_T_AV_DMA,g -i $i; done ' tag2..tag3
(tag1, tag2, tag3 can actually be a changeset hash, a branch and/or a tag)
