It's a real design oversight that in Git that a person's name is considered immutable. Like do these people know how people even work?

But it is mutable? After doing some research, I've found you can change it just like you can change a commit message using ammend or filter-branch. I guess you could say it's a design oversight that there's no author object spanning commits, but that's an engineering problem that comes with its own headaches, and filter-branch will let you change the commit history alright.
