Research direction

The question points to pygit2/_pygit2.pyi line 463 and pygit2/repository.py line 565. Compare create_commit's signature with blame's flags handling, then check the referenced libgit2 API to determine whether commit flags are supported. Done means a clear supported-or-not answer and a defined API scope if a change is warranted.
