Maybe it'd be better to first replicate the current workflow,
shortcomings and all, then later discuss a new policy? That would mean
no credits for non-commiters should come from the VCS alone: those
come from commit messages, the ACKS file, copyright notices in source,
etc.

BTW, keep in mind some people will prefer to submit diff-generated,
non-hg patches. IMO,  this use case should be supported before the
rich-patch one.
