Yes, it does seem consistent: author generated it and committer reviewed it. When merging this *is* preserved; and if you cherry-pick a generated patch without a change, you're about as good committer as the original one...

I think we also don't want to lose the information that it's a generated patch.


Nixpkgs-Monitor could get its own email address.

It does have its address, an invalid one. Supplying a valid address doesn't make sense to me; maybe we could just have such address that it does at least look valid to github, so it's considered as an author by it...
