Hey Steve, I like to say:
* patch for CTAKES-xxx <short issue desc> contributed by <Contributor First, Last>. -- this allows someone who's not a committer yet to get credit for the patch. * fix for CTAKES-xxx <short issue desc>. - indicates you contributed the fix yourself, or committed an existing committers patch. Something like the above usually helps to distinguish between new contributors and existing committers and ties to the JIRA issue ID which is good practice.
