Having your real name on the GitHub account but not having a commit sig is not really that strong deniability anyway.
If your thinking about some situation where you are being legally hounded because of code (e.g. DMCA, tornado cash situation etc) they will subpoena your hardware and likely find enough evidence that you can't plausibly deny writing the code anyway. GitHub logs may show you the upload was with a SSH key or http auth associated with you anyway.
For non legal situations, I suspect most observers won't really believe that a non-signed upload could have been done by someone else. Especially if it's to a repo only you have upload permission to or something.
