Hi Mingming,
With respect to ext4-patch-queue it is kind of difficult to find who wrote the patch.
I guess we can solve this by adding From: < author name > in the patches. This will make sure
when the patches get applied to linus tree we have the right author.
with the below diff to noextent_mount option patch i get the below history when applying the patches
using stgit via stgit --import --series
diff --git a/ext4_noextent_mount_opt.patch b/ext4_noextent_mount_opt.patch
index c349afb..e9a8d6f 100644
