Subject: [PATCH] [tar_git] Use tagger name, email and date in changelog

When annotated tags are used to describe releases that may combine
multiple commits from different authors, the creation of the tag itself
is often more significant than the last commit to which the tag is
pointing. Take the release author and date from the tag object instead
of the last commit.
