Git has different fields for author and committer - and modifying a commit should leave the author field intact, and just change the committer field. It is possible that github does something weird (I'm usually not doing much in their web UI) - but coming from working with git directly I'd expect you to be present in the author field.
I didn't write the content of that commit. Author and committer being different is for things like rebasing commits written by other people.
You mentioned a pull request, and that it got edited - which in my workflow is pulling the commit and amending it.
Okay, I probably misspoke about the technicalities. I opened a pull request, then they made a new commit and closed the PR (like it was an issue) and didn't touch the commit. Hope that makes sense now.
