I really like the proposal. However, since we had a somewhat-used
template before I'd consider sticking to the magic words used there.

While this is really easy when using git-svn (or command line svn on
Linux) I'm not aware of a way to do that (or even show the current
column) in TortoiseSVN on Windows. Does anyone know if / how this is
possible with TSVN?

We've used "Flyspray:" here in the past. This has the advantage that
it also catches patches posted to Flyspray -- or would a separate
magic word "Patch": be better here?

We've used "Author" here in the past. At least some commits do, so it
might make sense to stick with that?
