The recently posted patch documenting is an improvement, but why not
add an option so you can do

  --format 'committer %c\nauthor %a\n'
  
this catches all combinations, and is easier for scripting.

Yes, it would be easier for scripting, and it would probably be relatively 
easy, what with the addition of interpolate.[ch] to git. However, it is 
work, and I am lazy.

Lazy is good when the details should not matter.  If some people
are scripting, they are fully capable of reading raw or fuller.
