I am +1 to this idea. The intention behind this idea is also good one. * When the patches come from Github PRs, the contribution authors are automatically tracked. The comitter would be merging the changes from the authors. * When contribution comes via Patches/ or for many existing patches, setting the author is a good idea. I have one question. If we disallow direct push to branches and the core-dev has to create a PR to merge the changes in, I guess it is still possible to have author information in the commit. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
