Ben is awesome and does a huge amount of work and deserves a lot of credit. But, yeah, his role here is in making sure that the Change proposals fit the Changes Process requirements, and the work of shepherding them through that process. He should not get blamed for their content. :)

This issue was reported and discussed before [1]. For a while the editors would write "Ben Cotton, on behalf of the change owners …", but it seems this was forgotten in recent times. E.g. in [2] you really need to read closely to figure out that Eigler is the main person behind the subject of the article.

yes, I guess it was forgotten. The 'Fedora program manager' bit was meant to indicate that he was posting it in that role, but it would seem that is not entirely clear to everyone. In general, we try to attribute posts, so I did not want to leave out who posted it, but I will *try* to keep the 'on behalf of' bit in mind going forward.

I would recommend highlighting the feature owner names in the same sentence. It makes it more evident.
