author-is-committer makes sure that the committer is identical to
the author, which in turn is the person that prepared the Debian patch:
# gbp import-dsc --download --no-author-is-committer

So the option does what it should but not what you want/need. You want
s.th. that overrides the author with the committer (and not vice versa),
correct? So we ought to add --committer-is-author (and turn this into a
wishlist bug) so we get:
# gbp import-dsc --download --comitter-is-author
