Hmm, just found this thread, after posting on another thread about the same thing. +1 vote for the ability to manually reassign/claim ownership of individual commits... manual work is never pretty but ... [More] at least it'll help folks some method for setting the record straight if they care enough to make the effort. Plus the manual reassignment functionality must be much easier to implement than automagical log-parsing reassignment. [Less]

Add my vote for a partial implementation of this feature request: Give users the ability to manually reassign ownership of individual commits, by mutual agreement. If someone requests ownership of a ... [More] particular commit, and the current owner of that commit agrees, job done. That must be a pretty simple change to implement, and it will at least give folks the ability to manually reassign commits after the fact. At least that would provide some mechanism for setting the record straight - yes it requires manual human effort, but only on the part of the individuals who care enough to make that effort anyway. It's not as pretty as automatically parsing logs for various tags across various systems etc... automatic reassignment would be much more difficult to handle correctly given the myriad possibilities for formats/tags/systems, so that could be solved as a separate issue.
