Should be able to open a Copilot PR as the human user #91
Description
If a human uses copilot as a tool, spending a long time to write the prompt, fix the code, and ultimately take ownership for the PR, they are the ones responsible for the PR, and should get the credit for the PR. Not copilot. ie. If the PR causes widespread issues, the human is responsible, not copilot.
If I do a git log of past changes, I don't want to see copilot. I want to see the person who made the PR so I can ask them to clarify or fix something.
Codex already does it - when Codex opens a PR, it's as the user who initiated the PR. That way, it's clear who truly owns the PR. Including for the team mate who is reviewing the PR.
There are also some orgs which measure their engineers' PRs per month, quarter, etc. Copilot as owner would put them off from using it.
Seems like there's user demand: https://www.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/comments/1nke5t6/is_there_a_way_to_make_yourself_the_owner_of_a/
