I see your point Sateesh, but David is correct *you can search the mail archive) and I also see no difference with normal commits made by committers. If the commit message is bad then tough luck. At least git blame tells you who changed the file the latest etc….and you can always contact the committer who reviewed and applied that patch and should be familiar with it since he/she agreed to it.
