I would strongly discourage requiring author and pusher to be the same.
Not only is that a Sun-specific requirement for SCAs, which does not
necessarily apply to all repositories that could be hosted on
opensolaris.org, but it also seems needless since you should be able to
check both somehow without that requirement.
Mike gives a good case where they may be different - a pull from another
gate. The problem with the author field is it is difficult to validate.
While we require SCAs for those that contribute patches to pkg(5), that
is not true of all os.org repositories.
No, that's wrong. All contributions to any repository that we host must
to be covered by an SCA, or by virtue of Sun employment.

"Note: It is the responsibility of Project Leaders to confirm that
contributions to the project are coming either from community members
who are Sun employees or who have a Sun Contributor Agreement on file.
When project teams take contributions of whole pieces of technology (for
example, a device driver) via Sun Contributor Agreement, the team should
confirm with the contributor that he/she wrote all of the code. If
third-party code was used, other approvals are required."
