Not everyone likes their email address to be mentioned. I have to now go any remove this person's email address for the patch that I checked into the repository.
We really need some kind of policy here. I don't know if there is one already. In case its not there, How about... Unless the patch submitter specifically asks not to: the person's name and email address will be provided in the commit message. Request to omit the email address may be entertained if mentioned at the time the patch was submitted. Once committed, its tedious to make edits on all the affected files. Request to omit name's will not be entertained, i.e. no anonymous submissions. rahul
