When a coding agent does the work but leaves no trace of co-authorship, that change used to land with no human attached to it. A real, merged PR that no one was credited for.
Starting today, Mesmer runs post-attribution. When agent-authored work carries no co-author, we assign the responsible human by walking a fallback chain until someone is found.
How the fallback chain works#
Credit goes to the first role present, in order:
- Opener — whoever opened the pull request.
- Assignee — the assigned owner, when there's no opener to credit.
- Merger — whoever merged the change.
- Approver — the reviewer who approved it.
