Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst indicats that it should
be above the "---" separator together with Acked-by etc. Has this
convention changed recently?
I see, I will prepare a patch to discuss this aspect.
If you are going to veto patches on the basis of rules yet unwritten, I
think you risk turning the kernel development process into a lottery.
It's already a lottery, if you haven't noticed, i.e. it highly relies
on the style preferences of the maintainers and is yet undocumented (a
few years ago it was a new section introduced for closing this gap).
How many other patches presently under review will need to be dropped just
in case they don't conform with possible future rules?
What you are saying is pure speculation.
I rely on at least two things (besides already explained):
- the fact that Submitting Patches refers to the commit message
reduction due to the unnecessariness of some lines
- my experience and common sense (why duplicate the data?).
