Hi Szymon,
In this case this was a commit I created myself which is why there's no previous author/committer. It's a small subset of a different commit in the community Kepler stream [1]. So in this case I didn't reuse a commit but created a new one. In this case I'm not sure what's the right thing to do. It's easy for me to forge the Author if that's what we should do but the committer will always need to be changed due to the permissions currently configured for LTS which requires the committer be someone who has access to LTS. This is to ensure that we can track who pulled in a commit from the community side although setting a "Signed-off-by" entry would allow for this tracking as well.

Or maybe we should have multiple Singed-off-by entries? I'm almost sure that this kind of information should be preserved when reusing commits between community repo branches, but I'm not sure if and how it applies to LTS repos.

This commit would allow me to enable a completely offline Eclipse Platform build for LTS per discussion in bug 410075 so that in the future if any dependencies on the internet disappear the LTS Eclipse Platform build will continue to be build-able. We plan to achieve this by depending on the Maven Local Cache which stores all the artifacts the build needs after running a regular build and we plan to snapshot this cache and back it up in case it ever gets corrupt or needs replacing. Before this can happen though we need to apply a small patch [1] which removes a antrun script that does an external download an Eclipse Platform (Indigo) package. The use of this script was removed in the Kepler stream and but was never backported to Juno so my patch handles this backporting. Following the process for LTS I have submitted it for review.
