As the person that seems to have inadvertently caused the creation of those commits, I completely agree that they shouldn't have ended up pretending to be your work. I guess they were created either by a `git debrebase conclude` or during the dgit push, but I'm not certain which of those it would be -- I'll report a bug against dgit (possibly after CCC) to see if we can work out how I managed that, and how to do something better in future. I would have expected those commits to have my name on them, and am rather surprised that's not the case. > No, I did *not* author either of those commits: > https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/rescue/-/commit/e31c95f521feae5a4968039a0f7561d5345df9d4 > https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/rescue/-/commit/b3ff2972eb222c3fd3750c024952cf01b762e0ab > > I'm listed both as author and committer, and yet I'm neither of those! > > I can understand the need to have some kind of starting point and an > artificial merge because of <waves at technical challenges>. Quite. I can understand why it makes some sort of sense to also want your name to be somehow attached to those commits (given that they're mechanically generated from a version that you uploaded to the archive) but that could have been put in the commit message or perhaps just one of the Author or Committer, or some such. > I cannot understand how creating commits in my name is acceptable. > > At the very least, pretty please make it clear via either field who's > running that machinery… Totally agreed. > Cheers, > -- > Cyril Brulebois (kibi@debian.org) <https://debamax.com/> > D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant Cheers, Phil. -- Philip Hands -- https://hands.com/~phil
