Those reverts have no sign-off, and no explanation for them.

No, a revert may not have any copyright value, but the sign-offs have
been our main way to also see who actually did stuff and what the
chain was. All the usual "who caused this" background for reverts.

What was it that went wrong? Nobody knows. Not from the logs, at least.

I pulled it, but just FYI: reverts need explanations too. They need to
explain why they happened and what went wrong.
