And he should be cc-ed in the BZ too. +1 I don't think we're making the process too cumbersome, and as was mentioned previously, you don't need to use the web form. However, I also don't want to see us become slaves to a specific process and tell potential contributors to bugger off because of that. So, if we can find a way to appoint a code sherpa for this, then I think we're good, and if Niels can do that, then great. As mentioned, the signed-off-by line in the submission is critical for legal protection. Thanks, John Mark Gluster Community Guy
