Currently the backport commit author defaults to using the author info from git config. This PR changes that so the backport commit author will instead inherit the author from the source commit.

To override this behaviour the user can set the commit author explicitly like:

backport --git-author-name="Donald Duck" --git-author-email="duck@disney.com"
