It is not as simple as it might look....
There are two different types of notes:
- who (in person) did a change (or checked it in)
This is always a natural person.
- who owns the Copyright on a change. This may be another
person than the person who did check the delta in.
This also may be a "person" like "Sun Microsystems"
A SCM deals with the first, but not really with the latter.
