The problem with complicated rules (which these, I think, already are) is how to keep track of people that helps to which level. I make a point of crediting reviewers and code contributors in my commit messages, but can you tell which ones of the following guys should make it to these lists? I yanked this text from my commit 73c986adde5d73a5e2555da9b5c8facedb146dcd: Reviewed to varying degrees by Michael Paquier, Andres Freund, Robert Haas, Amit Kapila, Fujii Masao, Jaime Casanova, Simon Riggs, Steven Singer, Peter Eisentraut I do agree that we need to give credit in some form, though. I'm just saying can we please not put the responsibility on committers. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
