Bah. I think you're blaming entirely the wrong people, and the wrong tool.
Your complaint seems to be "we got a fix, it even says what commit it
is fixing, and the tool that the person ran didn't add the right
people automatically".
And my reaction is "I use that tooling, I want it to do exactly what
it does right now, why are you blaming that tool"?
You're already using 'patchwork'. Why don't you instead go "Oh, *that*
tool isn't doing the right thing?"
