Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.5.8 Severity: wishlist Hi,
Thanks for git-buildpackage! It has made my packaging life much better. When multiple developers are working on a package, for example as part of a packaging team, it would be good to have git-dch not modify the changelog trailer, so as to properly attribute the changes in the Changed-By line. Example: Developer A imports new upstream version, adds NEWS entries to changelog and does various tweaks. Developer B (perhaps the sponsor) comes along before upload and does a couple of minor changes before uploading. Developer A should remain in the Changed-By here, but git-dch will always update to Developer B's details. dch already supports this with --[no]mainttrailer. Please consider exposing this information too.
