In theory, this might cause someone who made a valuable contribution
to the discussion to not get credited in the commit message. But it
probably wouldn't in practice, because I at least always construct the
list of reviewers from the thread, not the CF app, since that tends to
be wildly inaccurate in both directions. So maybe it's fine? Not sure.
