is Author optional in a svn?

I have a report that a user that a repos that is updated by Visual SVN
does ends up with no author used on commits. Thus when pysvn looks
for the author field of a log there is NULL.

Is this considered to be reasonable to omit author for a commit?

If its reasonable I'll fix pysvn Workbench to work with optional
author otherwise I'll push back on the user to report a bug in
Visual SVN.
