    I'm a little on the fence in terms of squashing the commits of others vs. asking the contributor to do so. There are a lot of situations where spreading out a big patch over multiple commits makes sense and makes the history more consumable. 
    
    A couple of questions:
    * How does this preserve authorship in a pull request that has commits from multiple authors?
    * How would this work with our current branch model? Specifically, applying a pull request to multiple branches.
