Perhaps it would make sense to set committer to the person who ran the tool, and author to "lintian-brush <lintian-br...@packages.debian.org>" ? > * Person running the tool, but attribute the tool in the footer: > Changed-by: lintian-brush --options-here That's a good idea; I think providing the options (and lintian-brush version?) in the commit may be useful regardless of what choice we make about committer/author.
