I know that different people have different expectation on GitHub. I would like to take the opportunity of migrating to Git to use the "author" and "committer" fields. If the author is set to the real author, the one who proposed the change on the bug tracker or someone else, we will be able to compute statistics on most active contributors to more easily detect them and promote them to core developers. What do you think? I agree that pull requests avoid the issues of filling manually the author field, but I expect that no everyone will use PR, especially because we will still use our current bug tracker which accepts to attach patch files. Ok to propose them to create a PR instead.
