It's not possible.

Just rebase the repository and git push --force.

Alright, found a script that github provides that should do the trick

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?

Replying to Moonside (#3,763)

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.
