Just to be clear, "my" issue was not just about authorship, but about
auditability in general: where does a change come from, in what context
was it originally applied, what motivated it, etc., things VCS are
designed to help with.

I'm not against, as long as it doesn't break my installation.

I'm disappointed by the workflow, though.  In other free software
projects I work on, it's usually the other way round: it's the "merge
requester" that has to convince others that this is a Good Thing.  And
doing that is usually much easier and consensual with small, isolated
changes.

Thanks,
Ludo'.
