Hi Krzysztof,

As a self-proclaimed quite active kernel developer (by a quick web search)
you might have already ventured to look at the GIT history of the subsytem 
tree for the patch in question. If you did that, you might have implied that
the second S-o-b is added by automation -- and it indeed is.

While appreciating the report, maybe not so much the the condescending
style of the communication. You now slightly come through as a troll
hoping to be fed - I hope that is not the case.

Seems like we've had such a double S-o-b regularly generated by DIM (Drm
Inglorious Maintainer scripts) at least since 2016 as the first occurrance
seems to have been in ccda3a728f70 . So rest of the ecosystem seems to
deal with them just fine.

Is the double S-o-b issue purely cosmetic for you? Not a lawyer but I don't
think there is any legal problem in stating the same thing twice. [1]

Or are you maybe running into some more concrete issues with upstream kernel
process related scripts or other automation processing of the commit?

Regards, Joonas

[1] When it comes to the commit rights model in DRM subsystem, stripping
the final S-o-b after the cherry-pick would make it less obvious who did
the pick. If there are multiple S-o-bs and the cherry-picking person
happened to be one of them, that information would be lost. Less
predictable outcome for the patch form for no actual gain in my opinion.

On the other hand, removing the S-o-b line from above the "(cherry-picked.."
line would modify the cherry-picked commit description itself and I
would assume everyone agrees that should not be done.
