Instead of applying the author when we generate release notes, I think we should apply the author when the contribution is accepted. If the contribution is via a pull request then git.author will be set correctly but if it is via a patch it will not. Hence the committer will need to use discretion.
Commits authored by committers do not have author name appended. Julian On Dec 23, 2014, at 2:38 AM, Vladimir Sitnikov <[email protected]> wrote: > I think the script can be updated to use git.author field. > > > Vladimir Sitnikov
