i feel like people should be setting the author correctly when they do
that (and i thought they were). but ok

it looks like the last time we back-ported things (5.8.1) i manually
fixed the change-log entries during cherry-picking. but it was like five
commits so not too bothersome. doing it for twenty or fifty or w/e isn't
as appealing tbh...
