    Description

      Problem Definition

      In Bitbucket Cloud, the user who opens a pull request becomes the author of the merge commit when the PR is merged.

      The page of a merged PR shows which user closed the PR. However, when looking at the commit history, the author of the merge commit is the user who opened the PR.

      This is not always desirable and it can be confusing for users.

      Suggested Solution

      Set the author of the merge commit as the user who merges a PR
