            Bug ID: 255066
           Summary: [webkit-bot] Reverting a revert should re-land with
                    the original commit message.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: rreno at apple.com
                CC: ap at webkit.org, webkit-bug-importer at group.apple.com

It would be great to use webkit-bot to revert a revert and have it restore the original commit message with an annotation that this is a re-land.

As it is now if I ask webkit-bot to revert a revert it treats it like any other revert (giving it a REGRESSION title and the rest of it.) For example I reverted 262331 at main (https://commits.webkit.org/262331@main) in 262370 at main (https://commits.webkit.org/262370@main) and then re-landed in 262429 at main (https://commits.webkit.org/262429@main) which only refers to the original commit because I asked the bot to say this is a re-land.

I could manually do the work to re-land in a manual PR but webkit-bot is very convenient for these mechanical tasks and so it would be nice to have it restore the commit message in these situations.

A secondary but related goal would be to commit with the original author's information as well so we don't have commits to the repo from "Commit-Queue" in these situations.
