So, our commit notifications in hipchat all come from the same user(s) who pushes changes to master.

So, our commit notifications in hipchat all come from the same user(s) who pushes changes to master. You can't always tell who made the commit, and not all commit messages are informative. And even then, not everyone religiously watches chat or issue boards, so monitoring what your teammates are doing using that mechanism doesn't work for everyone. And in a multidisciplinary team, standups help with cross-pollination. I'm an ops guy, but in standup I find out what the design guy is doing. He doesn't commit to a repo that posts notifications, but I get an idea of where future ops work is going to land. If standups don't work for your team, don't do them. But they're not an anti-pattern.
