grrr.  Couldn't let it go.  If you add this alias:

  merged-by-who = log --ancestry-path --reverse --merges --format=\"%h %cD \\\"%cN <%cE>\\\"\"

to you ~/.gitconfig, then

$ git merged-by-who 2c4b229bafcf..pinctrl/for-next

Once it makes it to mainline, one could use origin/master for the bottom
commit.

thx,
