For commit objects, the Author is shown, so do the equivalent for

	I know, it's feature freeze period.  But this is arguably a 
	usability bug.
I'll wait for people to argue this fixes a usability bug, then.

IMHO the fact that currently "git show <tag>" _doesn't_ show
author and date of tag is a (usability) bug.

Fortunately "git cat-file -p <tag>" (or "git cat <tag>" with my
current alias) works, and dos show date in human-readable form.
