So what? If you send in a patch formatted with git format-patch, you
will be listed the author of the patch automatically when the patch is
applied with git am, regardless of who pushes it (the pusher of a patch
is only a minor information you have to ask explicitly for: the normal
log does not mention him or her, the main information being the author
of a patch).
Even if you send in just a diff, it can be committed using the --author
option in order to preserve proper credit.
So your "point about credit" is not more than a misconception.
