Hello!

I haven't (that I recall) seen any particular guidance one way or the
other, but what's the general feeling on "Submitted by" for patches
that come in via Bugzilla without commit metadata vs. committing
locally with --author="Name <email>"?

I did this with d36b5db and didn't receive any complaints, but I'm
curious if we should be more actively promoting setting the author
correctly whether the patch came in with it or not. I noted that
Warner's meta doc[0] lists "Submitted-by" which is where my
uncertainty comes from.

Thanks,

Kyle Evans
