Thanks Path, I'll be sure to attribute any formatting changes I make to myself from now on.

Most of the time massive format related changes are done using tools such as IDE or maven plugins and they are not a result of manual editing source code and there is no IP involved into those changes. 2. In many cases code refactoring (moving class from one package to another for example) results in incorrect author being attributed by git (it is possible to force git to track changes properly, but it requires additional effort on a contributor side and I don't think that Drill follows that practice). 2. Git is not the only way Apache accepts contributions. Contributors are not required to have git (and/or svn) account and may contribute by attaching a patch to JIRA, so SCM may not always have info on a contributor. Even when SCM(git) does not have info on who contributed a patch, that information is always available in JIRA. Vlad On 5/11/18 15:25, Parth Chandra wrote: > Ted as usual puts it succinctly.
