We could do like VLC and x264, i.e, smth like this:

From: Subversion daemon <svn at videolan.org>	Mailed-By: videolan.org
Reply-To: x264-devel at videolan.org
To: x264-devel at videolan.org
Date: Feb 16, 2006 11:00 PM
Subject: [x264-devel] x264: svn commit r439 (sam)

As you can see, the email address is always the same, but the subject
shows who is the committer.

What I can do is add ppl's commit address to the list of addresses
which are allowed to post as they arrive on the CVS log mailing
list.... Or, if you provide me with a list of addresses of committers,
I can also add all of them ASAP.
