I don't care that any trivial style notes I give to anyone are tracked for posterity. Who are these 'community managers' that use these? Signatures are a mechanism for credit tracking isn't great. One style that seems to have been generally accepted is for patch revision change logs to be noted below a --- line. Often that change log will shows various improvements made to a patch and the people and reasoning that helped make those improvements. Perhaps automate a mechanism to capture that information as git notes for the patches when applied. _______________________________________________ Ksummit-discuss mailing list Ksummit-discuss@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ksummit-discuss
