I don't have a horse in this race, but in general I don't view "git blame" output as a reliable indicator of authorship. I know that refactoring maneuvers as simple as moving blocks of code or changing indentation can get git-blamed on someone who had nothing to do with writing the code. If I do need to know who wrote something, consulting "git blame" is only a first step in answering that question, not an answer itself.
