In Git (and I'd presume any Git-like DVCS) anything but the push logs can be spoofed. Having a record of who actually pushed to the repo is one of the requirement from ASF's standpoint to track chain of custody for the code that lands in out projects. Do realize that this unique requirement comes from the fact that we're a foundation, not just a code hosting site.
