[Python-Dev] python-checkins (original) (raw)

I was actually going to suggest something along those lines post transition, since Hg will have an email address for everyone - leave push notifications coming from the bot (so existing filters based on the bot address keep working), but include the push author in the reply-to field.

IIRC, you can’t know who pushed without kludgy hackery. Also, the one to push is not necessarily the author of the commit(s). If that was just a braino and you meant setting the committer as reply-to, it seems a good idea.

Note that nothing in Mercurial forces you to have a parsable “Name ” user name, it’s just a good practice. Dirkjan’s mapping uses a dummy tools at python.org address for unknown IDs, which probably means the other tools he’s writing depend on an email address. That would need to be in the dev policy.
