Why does the authors matter. There is no reason a patchset or PR needs to
be squashed into a single commit, they just should not be broken along the
way.

Also order in a patch set is usually defined by a number prefix for example
this is how it is defined by the Linux kernel, but is inline with most
projects that do mailing list patches.

There is really nothing so unique about this project that we need to get
too creative.
