Document the preferred way a developer should request to have their Acked-by/Tested-by/Reviewed-by tag to a patch series under discussion Signed-off-by: Jason Holden <jason.k.holden.swdev@xxxxxxxxx> --- Junio, I was ready to add my Reviewed-by to this patch series, but I wasn't sure if I should email just you the patch author (to cut down on overall list traffic) or both you and the list. If all reviewed-by/acked-by/tested-by traffic should go via the email list I think this patch would be helpful, as I wasn't quite sure how wide of a distribution list to use for my "Reviewed-by" email. A very similiar question was asked previously in: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/185564/focus=185570 This will apply on top of your last tweak to SubmittingPatches Please add my reviewed-by to the rest of the patches in this series. -Jason Documentation/SubmittingPatches | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/Documentation/SubmittingPatches b/Documentation/SubmittingPatches index f6276ff..80001c9 100644 --- a/Documentation/SubmittingPatches +++ b/Documentation/SubmittingPatches @@ -268,6 +268,11 @@ If you like, you can put extra tags at the end: 4.
