I did a little comparison, fwiw.

  git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/cel/fedfs-utils.git

I manage this repo from a newer system:

[cel@seurat ~]$ stg --version
Stacked GIT 0.16
git version 1.8.3.1
Python version 2.7.5 (default, Nov 12 2013, 16:18:42) 
[GCC 4.8.2 20131017 (Red Hat 4.8.2-1)]
[cel@seurat ~]$

It appears to retain unique author dates.

This repo:

  git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/cel/cel-2.6.git

I’m managing currently from OL6 using the stgit packaged
in EPEL:

[cel@manet linux-2.6]$ stg --version
Stacked GIT 0.14.3
git version 1.7.1
Python version 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Jan 22 2014, 01:49:05) 
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4)]
[cel@manet linux-2.6]$

A cursory check against www.kernel.org shows the author dates
in my “master” branch match master upstream. But in the
nfs-rdma-client branch, which I maintain, authdates all appear
to be the same as the commit date.

The “for-3.12” branch in this repo was managed with a version
of git/stgit similar to the fedfs-utils repo above, and the
authdates appear to be preserved.
