[darcs-users] Committer info

Hi,

A while ago, i asked for advice on how to log who committed a patch to
a repo, and ended up making a wrapper around darcs which writes this
info into a file. 
I was wondering, would it be a big change in Darcs to add this 'committer'
information to a patch, such as GIT apparently does ? I don't know how
it works in GIT, but i would think that the committer of a patch is just\
the person doing the pull, the apply, or the record of a patch. 
The only trouble i guess is getting the information on who is committing. 
For record, pull, and apply, this could be by default the author of the patch.
For apply and pull, there could be an extra option to specify the committer,
which can e.g. be used by darcs push to pass the author of the current 
repository ?

cheers,
Remko
