That would be good.

Having separate certificates for each purpose means it is not possible
to track, for example, when or why a particular revision was added to
a given branch. Having a branch certificate also include a date
certificate and a changelog would help, I think.

Not sure what use the author field is - presumably that could also be
determined from the signature?

Signer and author are different things. I can sign something but set
you as the author if I wished. This is often used (in OpenEmbedded) to
commit patches for people who don't have push access to a server.
