Re: Commit Access

Hello everybody,
sorry for the late reply, due to real life issues I am only able to answer today.

Your links and explanations where, what I was looking for and was missing. I guess the part Daniel highlighted, was the 
part, that was tripping me up mostly. Name changes can also be a factor, of course, but usually those are visible via 
`.mailmap` (not always, since sometimes the access is granted after the initial contributions and then the name change). 
The latter can be resolved via Daniel's link, because there one can see the sponsors.

Anyway: thanks for your replies and answering the request in good faith.

Cheers,
Kai
