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.
