Hans,
Apache (and Ofbiz) has a workflow defined for contributions coming from non committers. I am sure you are aware of the process as well. I will be much more happy if
1) Contributor create a Jira issue.
2) In Jira issues Contributor can mention all about company they work for etc.
3) Contributor uploads patch to Jira issue
4) Committer take the patch and applies it.

Once in a while its fine if committer take contribution directly from a well established contributor and commits it. I don't think its good idea to make it a practice.

I know in community driven projects most of practices is recommendation and not many rules. Its good if community members assume recommendations are rules to live by else community can become difficult place to live in.

I personally don't see reason why you still want to add company name in commit log.

Regards
Anil Patel
