I have been including that information for years. IMHO that make it the
standard for that package.
Up until now , no one has had an issue with it.

I have no fear of that ever happening as it has been totally acceptable
not to have a commit message included and there is no enforcement of
that process.
We had this discussion in the past and we go round and round and nothing
ever changes. So I am not worried.
I applaud those who take the time and effort of providing additional
information in the commit messages.

Interesting question. Since I am not a lawyer, maybe you can help guide
the community so we do the right thing. Now I am worried about the
stable branches,
do backports have this same issue, are those 3-party texts?
