So after realizing that this was about "author" timestamp, I am rescinding
this comment about the change of the default for -c and --amend.

But everything else still stands.  IOW, I still (1) do think the issue is
worth addressing (thanks Erick), (2) the log message can be improved, and
(3) --(old|new)-timestamp should be --[no-]reuse-timestamp.
