Hi All, And another little thought that we might be able to improve up when migrating to a new DVCS, - authors of changes. Right now I do a "From FirstName SecondName, details" in all submissions, then use osgversions -R ChangeLog to parse out the authors, and make any typo corrections made to FirstName SecondName that might have been made, as well as pick out authors names from a time when I hadn't yet adopted the From scheme. It kinda works but it's hacky.
It'd be good to have the authors names formally assigned to submissions, this is all made a bit more awkward but the fact that a maintainer who's not the original author will be doing the formal commit to the main repo. Actually knowing who the original author and the maintainer who did the review and merge is useful. Is this possible? When importing the subversion history it'd be good to sort out the old submissions to have the authors assigned from formally (ideally typo's fixed :-). I don't doubt this is a job that could be partly automated, but will still require quite a bit of human review and editoring. The hacks in osgversion to compenstate for the typo's might be help here. Thoughts? Robert.
