You have that wrong.
Author and Committer are different git fields.

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html

      * an author: The name of the person responsible for this change,
        together with its date.
      * a committer: The name of the person who actually created the
        commit, with the date it was done. This may be different from
        the author, for example, if the author was someone who wrote a
        patch and emailed it to the person who used it to create the
        commit.
