Gary,

I am wondering why you have recently gotten in the habit of adding yourself to 
the due-to field of changes.xml. Historically we have always used that to give 
credit to non-committers who provide patches or significantly contribute to 
them.  As committers we get credit in the source control and in the dev field 
of the action entry. It seems over the top to be giving ourselves credit that 
way and, in fact, takes away from the contributions we receive from 
non-committers as every single change is due to one of us, even if all we do is 
commit the patch.

If we need to vote on this I would vote that committers names should never 
appear in the due-to field.

Ralph
