Why GitHub Can't Host the Linux Kernel Community
None of those commits are signed. Apparently people on GitHub can commit as torvalds if the author email matches his:
https://github.com/amoffat/masquerade/commit/9b0562595cc479a...
(You can't fake a fork without hacking the torvalds account, though, so maybe it really was him.)

Subsurface was originally created by Linus. Its pretty likely that that he authored those commits.
