Hi all,
First of all, apologies if this is not the proper list to ask these sort
of questions. If this is the case I'd appreciate some guidance on who to
ask these questions.
It seems github automatically changes author [1] and contributor [2]
details when one presses the "Squash and Merge" button, replacing these
with the author name and email (if present) of the Github account (and
with "GitHub nore...@github.com" otherwise).
We discussed this in our mailing list a while back ([4], [5]) with no
clear consensus.
The questions are:
1. Is there an ASF-wide policy (or consensus) on how to handle this
"Squash & Merge" feature in github? Or is this a project-specific decision?
2. Does the ASF want to keep track of contributor names/emails when PRs
are received+squashed+merged via github or is this Github behaviour ok?
Thanks for any guidance,
Antonio
