Just to be clear, what you're saying is we want to change the policy
that says "committer must be on list of approved committers &&
commiter==author" to "committer must be on list of approved committers
&& author must be on list of approved committers"?
Assuming that's what you meant, there is no support for that in the
scripts now, but if we agree that's a good thing it should be trivial
to add it.
