Description

Hey there,

I am having trouble setting the actual commit author account.

My GitHub Workflow Step is set up like this:

- name: Release
  env:
    GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    NPM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
    GIT_AUTOR_NAME: "BlazingWorks CI"
    GIT_AUTOR_EMAIL: "hey@blazing.works"
    GIT_COMMITTER_NAME: "BlazingWorks CI"
    GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL: "hey@blazing.works"
  run: pnpm semantic-release

The commits created through this look like this:
