When applying patches from bugzilla or wherever, it's better to pass the «--author="John Doe jd@example.com"» argument to git commit when writing the «thanks» in the commit messages. IMHO.

Yes, it is a good idea.
It would only require that we all used the correct names of other contributors - preferably real names. It also requires a UTF8 console in order to also non-english characters were correctly. For example, Slávek and Slavek are for statistics something different. Not to mention the fact that it could be used 'á' character from ISO 8859-1 and that is also different than 'á' from UTF8. And statistics will consider it as three different contributors.
By the way, although the page with list of patches in the header correctly contains information about UTF-8 encoding in the HTTP header is still ISO-8859-1 and Konqueror because it displays incorrectly - Slávek :)
