Did you actually read the commit description?  It's quite clear who 
originated the commit:


commit 0c1aa20fb87b796d904f4d89ad12e5a0c483127b
Author: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@...b.auug.org.au>
Date:   Thu May 29 22:39:28 2008 +1000

     [netdrvr] Fix 8390 build breakage

     From: tony@...eyournoodle.com (Tony Breeds)

     ...

     Signed-off-by: Tony Breeds <tony@...eyournoodle.com>
     Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@...hat.com>


It's pretty hard to miss, and it accurately captures the entire audit trail:

1) who sent the patch?
2) who wrote the patch?
3) who committed the patch?

So, you want to eliminate part of that audit trail (#1), making the 
commit audit trail more hidden and opaque?

I respectfully disagree.  We should capture the _entire_ audit trail, 
not hide bits of it.

Full credit is given, as you can see from looking at the commit.

	Jeff
