I share this understanding of the policy, FWIW.  Commit log messages
do not belong to the same copyright that covers the code.  E.g., when
I install changes by other people, I frequently modify the commit log
messages (to fix wording, punctuation and typos, and to better adhere
to our conventions), but I never change the attribution of the commit
as result of that.
