Crediting patches, bug reporters, etc.
Would it be too much additional overhead if we all agreed to track
patch authors, reviewers, bug authors, etc., in Subversion memo's in a
semi-structured way?
I'm thinking of what the Subversion project does, mainly using 4
possible fields in the check in memo:
Patch by:
Suggested by:
Found by:
Review by:
(You use whichever are appropriate. Not every check-in will have all four).
http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/conventions.html#crediting
The nice thing about this minimal amount of structure is it allows
easy extraction of contributors via a simple script, e.g.,:
http://www.red-bean.com/svnproject/contribulyzer/
As you may know, our current informal approach tracks committers, but
does not explicitly track other contributors.

ups I should have read this earlier, I already committed some patches
with "Original author:"

+1
git has a nice configuration setting:
commit.template
Specify a file to use as the template for new commit messages. "~/" is
expanded to the value of $HOME and "~user/" to the specified user’s home
directory.
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/v1.7.10.1/git-config.html#_variables
May be subversion has something similar. Some templates could be uploaded
to incubator/ooo/devtools/

+1, and we should document it somewhere how exactly we want do it...

We've used it a few times; I'm not sure the script looks for it.

Good suggestion to me! Others members could comment what else fields are
needed.
Related topic is, we should set up such guidelines and put it to our wiki,
eg. coding guidelines, unit test report format, defect report format...some
we may already have...
