> impersonating Nat Friedman using a bug in GitHub's application.

This is not a bug, it's a part of how Git fundamentally works. If you want to mitigate it you have to sign your commits. GitHub could only attribute commits in the UI if they're signed, but I suspect that this is considered too much friction to enable.
