Wouldn't the thing to do to give them their own account id / email so we can use standard git blame tools?

Why do we need a plugin or new tools to accomplish this?

Don't know why this has been resubmitted and placed on the front of HN. (See 2day old peer comment) What's the feature of this post that warrants special treatment?

>>verdve+O7
Many posts get resubmitted if someone finds them interesting and, if it's been a few days, they generally get "second-chance" treatment. That means they'll be able to make it to the front-page based on upvotes, if they didn't make it the first time.

There are a couple of paths to resubmission, the auto dedup if close enough in time vs fresh post / id. There are also instances where the HN team tilts the scale a bit (typically placing it on the front iirc)

I was curious which path this post took, OP answered in a peer comment
