The underlying principle is we need your own email address on the Signed-off-by line, so we can contact you later in case a lawsuit comes up. If you're sending a patch from a different email address than is in your signed-off-by, how are we to know it's actually yours? > As you can see it is quite common practice so please do not invent new > rules. Yes, you can come up with a couple thousand patches (out of the ~200,000 patches in that range) that have sent differing committer emails and Signed-off-by email addresses. However, since you haven't sent me very many patches before or communicated very much with me, I have no prior knowledge of what email addresses you actually own. So I'll ask you about your two different email addresses, in case you have a bad mail config, just like I would ask anyone else. Please don't take it personally. :) > Attached is a quick-n-dirty script I used to generate the list. Nifty python script though!
