I admit, the example is really contrived.

My point is that, as far as I know, there is no way to know who exactly
is behind an unsigned Git commit.

The "Author" and "Commit" information seen in `git log --format=full` is
trivially forged, for example by altering the [user] field of your Git
configuration file.
