[SPARK-9179] [BUILD] Allows committers to specify primary author of the PR
to be merged
It's a common case that some contributor contributes an initial version of
a feature/bugfix, and later on some other people (mostly committers) fork and
add more improvements. When merging these PRs, we probably want to specify the
original author as the primary author. Currently we can only do this by running
```
$ git commit --amend --author="name <email>"
```
manually right before the merge script pushes to Apache Git repo. It would
be nice if the script accepts user specified primary author information.
You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running:
