No, that'd be additional effort on top, which I'm not sure I see
a reason for. Nobody's given a plausible reason why we need
a machine-readable way to identify the bug reporter's name from
the commit log. And we get a fair number of reports with no name
or an obvious pseudonym, too, so how would you handle that?
