Yeah, Phabricator must not become a second source of truth for who actually
did the work, which we had at least one case of recently.  That's no good.
In this case, the difference between a patch and a bug report is
indistinguishable ("word X is misspelt at offset Y in file Z" is probably
not really Phabricator fodder at the scale of a single instance), but it
should plainly either be a Reported byline if not a Submitted one in the
commit message itself.
