I was also proposing (and would like to re-air that here) enforcing that the committer field of each commit is a (valid) @gcc.gnu.org email. This can be configured repo-locally via: $ git config committer.email <yourname>@gcc.gnu.org Git has supported this since 39ab4d0951ba64edcfae7809740715991b44fa6d (v2.22.0). This makes a permanent association of each commit to its authors Sourceware account. This should not inhibit pushes, as the committer should be a reflection of who /applied/ a patch, and anyone applying a patch that can also push has a Sourceware account. It also should not inhibit any workflow, as it should be automatic. > Summary > --- > > TL;DR: The proposal is: > > 1) MAINTAINERS should list a field containing either the gcc.gnu.org > email in full, or their gcc username (bikeshedding semi-welcome); > > 2) It should become a requirement that to be in MAINTAINERS, one must > possess a Bugzilla account (ideally using their gcc.gnu.org email). -- Arsen Arsenović
