We probably won't have numbers until after it is implemented. :) After
that, it should be as simple as throwing a switch somewhere, if we
decide to make this behavior the default.

I'm still not sold on that, though. There's also the question of
backwards compatibility, and I'm not sure that changing blame output
like this would keep that intact. Are there scripts which could use
blame output to determine who performed a merge? Might they depend on
the current behavior? Having this on by default would break such things.
