If I got the author wrong on a commit, is there a quick way to fix it
(e.g. by passing the right arguments or environment variables to commit
--amend)?

Set these:
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME

That doesn't seem to work in this case, since with the commands that
take an existing commit as a model (like commit --amend and commit -c),
the author information from the existing commit overrides those
environment variables.  Which is normally what you want.
