It has never happened. Nobody ever loosed authorship. I'm very picky on
this one. I bet you cannot find a single example in Symfony?

In the early Serializer introduction, Nils had a few commits in my
branch that got all squashed into "Added Serializer Component" - he
still has @author tags though, but it's not something that never happened :)

I've very sorry if it actually happened. It was definitely a mistake if I squashed several commits with different authors. I apologize for this.


Right now, I'm very understanding with pull requests. But I can enforce
the rules more often. In that case, I can tell you that more than half
of the pull requests will need some kind of rework from their author.

Yeah given the git learning curve I guess we want to cut people some
slack if we don't want to lose contributors. But writing a good doc
would definitely go a long way, so at least you can point to it even if
you merge a "bad" PR, and maybe next time it's better.

We have a doc about that already.
