It's not clear to me that Peter forgot it. Someone else brought this up -- it seems to me that Documentation/SubmittingPatches is a little too strong about needing permission to use Reported-by: If this patch fixes a problem reported by somebody else, consider adding a Reported-by: tag to credit the reporter for their contribution. Please note that this tag should not be added without the reporter's permission, especially if the problem was not reported in a public forum. That said, if we diligently credit our bug reporters, they will, hopefully, be inspired to help us again in the future. Sure, if a problem was reported privately, then we need to have permission to use Reported-by, but if it was reported in a public forum, that should be implicit permission (IMHO). eh? -- ~Randy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
