It does not complain about Closes: N/A but if I read the process documentation correctly if the report is not available on the web Closes should be omitted: """ Using Reported-by:, Tested-by:, Reviewed-by:, Suggested-by: and Fixes: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Reported-by tag gives credit to people who find bugs and report them and it hopefully inspires them to help us again in the future. The tag is intended for bugs; please do not use it to credit feature requests. The tag should be followed by a Closes: tag pointing to the report, unless the report is not available on the web. """ So I guess I have to make peace with getting checkpatch warnings when I give credits to the reporter for reports not available on the web. Regards, Halil
