So that I'm no more annoying than necessary: what is the purpose of the
Author(s) field on a ticket? I've seen all three used:

    1  Whoever wrote the affected code
    2  The patch submitter
    3  The ticket submitter (this one can be ruled out)



The patch submitter.

Thanks, I guess I have more tickets to update!

To elaborate: the "author" field is the person that should be credited for authoring the fix (i.e., writing the patch). It's used, for example, in generating the release notes, showing who contributed to the release.

Thanks,

Jason
