But that won't work if people who are not core developers submit us patch bundle to import. And maintaining a such white-list sounds to me more burdensome than necessary. Well, if you need contributors to sign a contributor's agreement anyway, there's already some list out there that we can leverage. The other option is to play the consenting adults card and ask all people with push access to ascertain the correct names of committer names on patches they push. I would remind you all that it's very necessary to make sure that whatever finds its way into released code is indeed covered by contributor agreements. The PSF (as the guardian of the IP) has to ensure this, and so we have to find a way of ensuring that all contributions to source are correctly logged against authors in a traceable way.
