- Maybe put Author: (or From:? and maybe Subject:?) line in the pre-formatted

Personally I think it's just clutter, but hey, it's off by default. Of
course what is the chance that you've turned on status.showauthor in
your ~/.gitconfig, but you don't have your identity set up properly? :)

The point is that *someone else* can have showauthor set up in .gitconfig,
and then he'll be able to use git commit --amend to fix up
the identity without using --author explicitly.
