The Author, Committer, and Date are determined by the local git making
the commit. Gerrit is just displaying what was pushed to it. As a
reviewer if those items are important you can ask the author of a
patchset to push a new patchset that includes updated and potentially
more correct information. This may involve correcting local settings
(eg system clock) or you can override the values by passing the
'--author' and '--date' options to `git commit`.
