Indeed, let's not amalgamate everything and keep the discussion clean. The https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/graph/ofbiz does show information about the jira issue (including the contributor, if done correctly). Just click on the blue i icon to the right of the comment excerpt. You'll see a modal window appearing with more info. Take as an example the commit done on April 18th starting with comment: 'A patch from Pierre Smits...'
Thank you for sharing insights in how Git could work for this project. I appreciate it. Can you provide links to examples of an Apache project using Git that shows a contribution from a non-privileged contributor as you describe? It would surely help understanding the described visibility and help this community to make a sound decision when all has been said. Quoting: which non-committer has submitted the most code to OFBiz and what was the distribution of their changes amongst the various OFBiz components? I would love to see that too. Maybe our PMC chair can clarify and comment on that? Please remember: if anyone feels that this discussion has reached a saturation point (all viewpoints and concerns presented) and a sense of consensus needs to be established, just call a vote. The outcome will dictate the direction. To me this seems a procedural issue, not a code change.
