I was thinking the same thing. There already is a select box that contains all known "maintainers". It shouldn't be too hard to add another field where people can select any one of those items to be used in the From: line of the generated patch. People who aren't listed as maintainers still need a way to enter their name & address, though. Storing that selection in a cookie seems like a good idea. > Would be much easier if git am was smarter :( It's also possible to re-set the author fields of a whole bunch of commits before pushing the changes: git filter-branch --env-filter 'export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="Joe Doe" GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=j...@example.com' origin/master..master Take care, Peter _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
