This week I was very surprised to see commits from the user call "github" in Jenkins: https://builds.apache.org/job/maven-box/job/maven-shared-utils/job/master/changes
IMO we shouldn't want these kind of commits. Based on the most recent activities I had a chat with Sylwester en Elliotte. The reason is the author of these commits was Elliotte, but the committer Github https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=maven-shared-utils.git&a=commit&h=8ed3e6827885a161a8802100f0f50968555356b0 Elliotte tried to figure it out, and his conclusion was that in case he squashed and merged commits via github, the committer became github. If this is indeed the case, we should always ask the author to squash his commits so we can track the commit better, and it makes it easier to find possible regressions (and revert them when necessary) Not sure if this would help, but my WOW is creating a patch from github, and applying it to the gitBOX url. Squashing and merging it from here would at least make me the committer. It there are other opinions, ideas, please share. Robert
