Creator of tag does not show correct user in tags page

[korydraughn]

So, I created a tag like so ...

git tag the_tag the_commit
git push upstream the_tag

The tag appeared in the repo, but when I view the tag details, GitHub shows a different user's name.

Is this a bug or did I miss a step?

Using git tag the_tag the_commit -am 'message' fixed the issue.

Explanation:
-a: This flag creates an annotated tag, which includes a message and stores additional information (such as the author and date).

the_commit can be omitted and it will default to ther last commit
