Okay, I was unaware of --author, silly me! (My workaround is how most projects do it in e.g. SVN.)
Another FOSS-project use case: there are sometimes multiple authors of a particular patch. This actually happens quite often, for instance, when a team of packagers for a distribution implement a bug fix and send it upstream as a single rebased patch. (I've been on both the sending and receiving end of this case).
