The Linux kernel has particular conventions for this, and it is the prototype git project. I don't think most projects have actually thought about the reasons that the kernel project uses these conventions. > Although my recent commits include this line, strace project has no such > written convention atm, so it's time to clear up, is there any objections > wrt to this convention. I do not think it serves any purpose for us. We have the git author and committer fields and that is plenty. We do not have formal conventions about patches flowing through multiple hands like the kernel project has. We should have clear conventions for commit message formats. But miscellaneous trailer lines with people's names and email addresses are not something I think we need in our conventions.
