It might be viable to compare the committer against the ACLs for
emacs.git or such.  The authors can vary widely, but the committer
should usually be somebody that can write to the repository.

  ~/gnu/emacs/emacs$ git show --format=fuller b8f94e | head -n 5
  commit b8f94eb0f148e774981ce711a12db604ebd174bc
  Author:     Your Name <you@example.com>
  AuthorDate: Tue Apr 25 20:28:38 2023 +0800
  Commit:     Your Name <you@example.com>            <<<<< this one
  CommitDate: Tue Apr 25 20:28:38 2023 +0800

... or, as an example of a contribution by a non-committer:

  commit 110769d039f1e5d12b948fade23563b3e540cff3
  Author:     Sam James <sam@gentoo.org>
  AuthorDate: Mon Nov 21 22:01:37 2022 +0000
  Commit:     Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
  CommitDate: Tue Nov 22 14:45:09 2022 +0200
