From a mechanical perspective, that has clear advantages to me
(especially with the de facto GitHub interpretation), but I think it'd
collide with our practice of rewriting commits to maintain project
voice. Maybe people could get used to that change, but I generally
expect the Author in the Git metadata to be the *literal* author of
the commit message.
