Maybe it'd be better to first replicate the current workflow, shortcomings and all, then later discuss a new policy? That would mean no credits for non-commiters should come from the VCS alone: those come from commit messages, the ACKS file, copyright notices in source, etc. BTW, keep in mind some people will prefer to submit diff-generated, non-hg patches. IMO, this use case should be supported before the rich-patch one.
