I'd like to replace "stricter conditions" with "well defined/documented 
conditions" hence the prod to bf-c

I don't have a concern with "a commit", I have a concern with "The process of 
how we manage this file", for which bf-committers is an appropriate place.

Developers make mistakes and changes can have unforeseen consequences 
sometimes, as much as we'd all like to write 100% bug free code, guaranteeing 
it is quite something else. Small changes in structure can sometimes trigger 
optimizer bugs in compilers, it can be very relevant knowing if even a 
relatively safe, 100% correct cleanup commit happened to a piece of code.

A cleanup commit is a commit like any other which can potentially introduce 
bugs and should be treated as such, hiding it from git blame is counter 
productive.

Now having large quantity of all code blame to a single commit (like 
e12c08e8d170) yeah that's clearly annoying, and should be remedied but anything 
beyond that I do not see the benefits of hiding such changes.
