Just to clarify here: For your own commits (e.g. fixing a package you own) you are already typically on the bug..right? I assume the major use case here is proxying commits for others (where they are on the bug, but you are not, either directly, or via an alias?) > > One potential downside is that the commit author could wind up CCed > twice via an alias, but that could be solved with a sufficiently clever > implementation.
