The "Sponsored By" line is not documented in the Committers' Guide, thr= ough it has been included in the FreeBSD-specific patch to the devel/subversion = port since March, 2013 [0]. 2. Common practice for using the "Sponsored By" line does not handle well = the case where a commit is the result of work by multiple individuals who typic= ally have different sponsorship including some who have no sponsorship at all. In this case, a sponsorship credit tends to have the unintended implication th= at the work of all collaborators was sponsored and by the same sponsor, which = is rarely the case. [0] https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/314983 Discussion =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D A preliminary discussion of the problem statement and the concept for this patch took place on the freebsd-ports@ list [1]. [1] https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2018-May/113352.html Proposed solution =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The attached patch contributes documentation (in English) to address both p= arts of the problem statement. Translations =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The Committers' Guide is offered in English, French, Italian, and Russian, = so a full solution should include patches for the other three languages. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
