Re: [RFC for GIT] pull-request: add praise to people doing QA

So the idea is to have list of those whose names appear on
Reviewed-by: and Tested-by: collected and listed after the list of
commit titles and author names.  I personally do not see much
downsides in doing so, but I do not consume that many PRs myself, so
let's hear from those who actually do process many of them.

Sadly, no further responses so far. Let's see if they will come if I
keep posting my pull requests with that information attached.

As to the implementation, I am wondering if we can make this somehow
work well with the "trailers" code we already have, instead of
inventing yet another parser of trailers.  

In its current shape, "interpret-trailers" focuses on "editing" an
existing commit log message to tweak the trailer lines.  That mode
of operation would help amending and rebasing, and to do that it
needs to parse the commit log message, identify trailer blocks,
parse out each trailer lines, etc.  

There is no fundamental reason why its output must be an edited
original commit log message---it should be usable as a filter that
picks trailer lines of the selected trailer type, like "Tested-By",
etc.

I didn't know about trailers before. As I undestand it, I could use
"Tested-by" as the key, and the commit subject as the value. This list
then could be parsed and brought into proper output shape. It would
simplify the subject parsing, but most things my AWK script currently
does would still need to stay or to be reimplemented (extracting names
from tags, creating arrays of tags given by $name). Am I correct?

All under the assumption that trailers work on a range of commits. I
have to admit that adding this to git is beyond my scope.

Thanks for looking into it,
