Re: [PATCH/RFC] fmt-merge-msg: add a blank line after people info

In other words, I think the objection given to the patch upthread was
a real one, but that a more appropriate fix than using strange spacing
would be to combine statistics from all branches being merged.

It may be real for _you_ but not for everybody.  Especially, the
current spacing is a lot more logically consistent than your Fred
the Clown example, which *does* use much more strange spacing.

I do not deeply care either way, so let's do this sometime when the
tree is calm (but not today).
