Is the co-authoring by Claude good practice or is it better to not have that reference in each commit?
I kind of feel all the commits by Claude everywhere are a marketing gig. In terms of transparency of course state somewhere that you are using AI, but personally it doesn’t help me seeing this on every commit. Ultimately you don’t know anyways which part of the commit was AI-inspired, AI-written or human-written, but the co-authored by Claude makes it seem that everything was done by AI and maybe diminishing its credibility.
That said, this post predates that LinkedIn post, so I don't think it was intended to compete with the original author's own efforts, but rather to provide continuity for PGX's customers.

Why not hire the original author?
The original author of pgBackRest posted on LinkedIn today that he will very likely revive the project, given the interest and new sponsorship opportunities: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7457070...
