I have been following this more or less meticulously for master, but does anyone know the rationale for it? I find it peculiar because we may end up with a date/email address combination that is completely bogus. I find it difficult to believe that anyone would prefer this. At commit/push time (not at contribution time), the copyright assignment may no longer be in effect for new contributions from the same person, after all. I don't adjust dates for backports, mostly due to the risk of making mistakes.
