And that's exactly the case here.

There's no merge commit for David's MR. Sure, it was done before we settled on 
the rules for MR in Qt, which need to include the MR number. But fact is, that 
commit is there.

So, again, can anyone tell me who pushed David's commit?

I'm pretty sure I did, but not even I can tell you for sure anymore.
