Not at all. The "Format" header value is translated into the first line
of the commit message. The "Author" header value is translated into the
"--author" argument passed to the VCS program.
So, having the "Author:" header present in a new log-edit-mode buffer is
meant to encourage users to fill in its value, i.e. specify the actual
author of the code they are checking in.
