It should be reported-by as the recent trend is to dedup similar ones without much meaningful distinction and stick to those that are listed in the document. It was just me being careless and picked one that used to be relatively common without even thinking: $ git rev-list --since 1.year --grep=Noticed-by: --count master 2 $ git rev-list --since 1.year --grep=Reported-by: --count master 54 $ git rev-list --since 5.year --until 4.year --grep=Noticed-by: --count master 4 $ git rev-list --since 5.year --until 4.year --grep=Reported-by: --count master 102 $ git rev-list --since 10.year --until 9.year --grep=Noticed-by: --count master 12 $ git rev-list --since 10.year --until 9.year --grep=Reported-by: --count master 54 There probably is a subtle difference perceived between the two by those who used noticed-by over the years and I think you guessed their intention right.
