Yes. Maybe my "if no --group is specified" suggestion from the other
part of the thread _is_ worth doing then.

Hmm, yeah. I actually kept --committer different at first, having it
override any other --group options. But that seemed confusing, too
(since it's now _almost_ an alias for --group=committer). I think your
suggestion works to just explicitly mark it as an alias and nothing.
