Yes, I know. Except what shows up in the changes report is
Change By
This adds foo. Thanks to Gary Gregory. ggregory
So you end up thanking yourself.
Due-to is meant to reward contributors as motivation to keep them contributing
and
become committers. Those who can commit get rewarded via the dev attribute and
appearing in the “By" column. If there is no “Thanks to” on the line then it is
obvious
you did it yourself.
