Use the author name and email information given as the 
first line of the commit message in the form of:

From: name <email>

Isn't this what git-am expect (as a part of mbox) and handle?

Hi Alex,

Yes it is, but not everyone is processing patches in mbox format.   If 
this facility is good enough for the mbox users, it seems like it would
be good enough for non-mbox users.   In fact, it would seem more
consistent to tell someone that a From: line will be handled properly
whether they use git-am or git-commit.
