We can email these persons via commit-list. There the From always shows
the person who pushed the changes.

The committer cannot be changed afterwards (though theoretically
sysadmins are allowed to change history). However, there are some policy
checks in place for the email address:

Patch to extend this would be very welcome (I prefer not to touch the
Git infrastructure)
