I don't care that any trivial style notes I give to anyone
are tracked for posterity.
Who are these 'community managers' that use these?
Signatures are a mechanism for credit tracking isn't great.
One style that seems to have been generally accepted is for
patch revision change logs to be noted below a --- line.
Often that change log will shows various improvements made
to a patch and the people and reasoning that helped make
those improvements.
Perhaps automate a mechanism to capture that information as
git notes for the patches when applied.
