That just overrides user.name/user.email in git's configuration.

From https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit :
Override the commit author. Specify an explicit author using the standard A U Thor <author@example.com> format. Otherwise <author> is assumed to be a pattern and is used to search for an existing commit by that author (i.e. rev-list --all -i --author=<author>); the commit author is then copied from the first such commit found."
Am I misreading what this does? Note: I'm not a regular user of this functionality, so I might be missing the mark.

A LOT of contributors do not own the copyright in their contributions. I've got a feeling I might soon need to sort out that mess in ScarletDME ...
Cheers,
