Well, we do, sort of. When you've got a large project getting committed, only one person can do the putback, and their name goes on the putback, and very often on all the deltas. I would expect that this will continue, regardless of the internal/external composition of the team. When it comes to a two-person team with one person inside and the other out, I'd suggest that the person with commit privileges (or the one who will push the changeset, if both have privs) make a judgment call as to who did the heavier lifting, and assign the changeset to that person, making sure that the other person is comfortable with the decision.
