Rewriting the commit author is very much "stolen".

Morally, I completely agree, but legally that's not something you can prevent with a weak license like MIT.

It might be possible to pursue this as illegal under general copyright law but it would be difficult.

If you don't want something like this to happen to your work, use a stronger license.
