Distinguish between a changeset author and the user who actually pushed a change

[Volker Simonis]

Hi everybody,

thanks for all your comments. Your answers confirm my assumptions that
this is currently not possible with plain OpenJDK Mercurial
repositories.

Mozilla seems to have a Mercurial extension for this use case [1] but
it doesn't seems to be be used in OpenJDK.

Thanks again and best regards,
Volker
