Yes. You can pass '--format=full' to `git show` or `git log` to see it.
There is surely a lower-level way to get the information too.

But, you can make the fields say anything by changing the value of
'user.name' and 'user.email' in '.git/config' or by setting
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_COMMITTER_NAME. See the man page git-config(1).
