Well, it can matter in some ways.  For purposes of copyright, e.g., this
patch isn't likely to raise any issues.

I have, for small stuff.  Or e.g. when a patch was written by a student
working with me and I saw previous revisions of it, so I'm willing to
vounch for it being their work.

And agreed with Steved on process--make it easy for the new and drive-by
contributors when it doesn't make extra work for the rest of us, and
they'll figure out the rest of the process later if they need to.
