On fixing the upstream attribution issue you and Andi Kleen look like people that are worth talking to, as there were several patches in Andrews tree from both of you that were lacking attribution. > In looking at your script, it doesn't seem to be able to handle patches > in quilt that are in mbox format. Any thoughts to allow this to handle > the attribution properly? Mbox format but one patch per file, or multiple patches in one mbox file?
