If that is the direction we would want to go, perhaps it suggests that we might eventually want to use "Cherry-picked-from: " as the marker for this information? And if we go that route, and if this information is being used, we have a rather serious backward compatibility problem. Older scripts will break, and this cannot be handwaved away with a configuration option or a command line switch (even if you personally choose to keep using the old format, you may get a commit with the new style trailer from elsewhere).
