Do you see any special consequences if a bit of "extra" functionality
is already provided by the Git software for a while?

It seems that my approach does not need improvements for the current

Would a few extensions for the available documentation help to clarify
the situation?


Do items like "commit mail address" and "commit timestamp"
belong together for the data structure "author" by design
in this content management system?

I understand that various update suggestions can be surprising.
It is also usual that corresponding acceptance might take
a bit longer than what some contributors would prefer.
