But when a developer bisects down to a certain commit and just looks at it with git log there is no telling which subsystem this thing came from and who actually funnelled it to Torvalds. I do know you *can* find that out with some git magic, the problem is that it is so magic that most developers don't know it and just look at the signoffs. But it's not like I care super-much.
