Thanks Stephen, I keep saying every time you catch these that I need
to run the same script. :(

Florian, I wonder if this happened when you rebased to squash in the fix?
Humm, could be, all I did (and it was not the first time) was to do an
interactive rebase with --preserve-merges. AFAICT, all of these commits
came from Eric's pull request, so what I typically do is just sign off
on the merge commit, but do not apply my SoB to all commits coming from
that pull request if that makes sense?
When you rebase, if the commit is re-applied, the committer changes to
you, so you need to add your SoB to all commits you rebased.

I suppose you could override it with GIT_COMMITTER_NAME and
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variables, but that sort of distorts
the SoB if any changes were added due to rebasing, such as resolution
of merge conflicts.
