Tony, I support the need to include commit co-authors to recognize their contributions. - Louis

To be fair, I think TC should mandate this across all projects. In many complicated and technically hard commits, co-author does not make any less amount of technical contribution to the commit. If just the owner is counted, people will start to fight for the ownership of a commit which is not healthy for the open source community. For my own case, it is well known that I am the initiator and project lead of this networking-sfc project and have contributed a lot to this project on the technical side and project management side. I have done many reviews and approvals in this cycle and co-authored quite some commits. It is a surprise to me that co-author is not counted as technical contributor in Neutron.

Yup that's a per-project decision right now. I s'pose we could ask for a TC resolution to clarify / madate this if someone in the community felt strongly enough about this.
