[development] Giving credit for committed patches

[Nedjo Rogers]

Part of the issue is that commits are linked automatically with who did them 
but not with who might have contributed the code (yes, a characteristic of 
the CVS system).

But we could add some linking functionality--a convention for linking to 
users in CVS commit messages like we currently have for linking to issues 
using the # sign.

Accordingly, I've created this issue on the cvs module:
