Hi Alan,
I had thought that always having "Contributed-by" was the correct thing
to do.
As you called it out, I re-read the relevant bit in the OpenJDK
Developers Guide [1] ("Formatting a Changeset Comment"), and now see
that I was mistaken:
"It <the contributed-by line> should be included only when the
author or authors of the change do not have commit rights to the
target repository and thus would not otherwise receive
acknowledgement."
Thanks for the correction.
Regards,
Neil
