Would any more software developers and maintainers like to share
their experiences around such details?
When do commit timestamps become relevant as a documentation item
for contribution authorship?

Do you usually just reuse a procedure from a well-known command
for which a description is provided like the following?
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-am
'…
"From: " and "Subject: " lines starting the body override
the respective commit author name and title values
taken from the headers.
…'
Will further fields be eventually mentioned there?
Regards,
Markus
