I'd expect that nobody would say anything until this change hits a
released version, and then after another release or two when it hits a
binary-packaged distro release, we may hear a regression report.
Or perhaps not.
In other words, we won't see a complaint (other than any obvious ones
we'd notice during review, like "shouldn't we be skipping comments?")
by cooking this in 'next', so I'd prefer to fast-track a topic like this
quickly to 'master' but make sure we can revert it anytime. Which in
turn means that it would be nice to see it while the codepaths involved
is expected to be quiet for a while. So, let's ignore this topic while
the other mailmap topic is in flight and then revisit it after it
graduates to 'master'.
Thanks.
