If you would like to merge this one as-is, Hmmmm. Not totally sure that I exactly understand what you mean, but I think I see it. But I'm not sure how to solve that. Would simply dropping the "explicit" solve this? Or should I start the section like this: "" Be careful in the addition of the aforementioned tags to your patches, almost all need permission by the person named; one can be assumed if the person provided that tag in a reply or acknowledged its inclusion after being made aware that name and email address will end up in public places where they can't be removed. The tags Cc:, Reported-by:, and Suggested-by: are an exception: for those three implicit permission is sufficient, ... """ Ciao, Thorsten
