I think the attributions here are all messed up. As the patches stand, it appears that you wrote all of them. But I don't think that is the case. If Bob wrote a particular patch then that patch should be sent with a From: Bob Pearson <rpearson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> right at the start of the changelog so that he is recorded as the primary author. If the email sender (ie: you) was the primary author then this attribution can be omitted and we fall back to using the From: from the email headers. Also, every one of these patches should have you own signed-off-by, regardless of its authorship. For reasons explained in Documentation/SubmittingPatches, section 12. Please fix these things up and resend. Also, it would be conventional and useful if each patch title was prefixed by its subsystem identifier. ie, "removed two instances of trailing whitespaces" should be titled "crc32: remove two instances of trailing whitespace" or "lib/crc32.c: remove two instances of trailing whitespaces". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
