Hi, > 1. When submitting the patch should I include you in the copy > as the original author? I guess this is more a question for the experienced patch submitters. My cheat sheet points to https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.10/process/submitting-patches.html The code change is trivial enough that i do not claim authorship. So how about Suggested-by: Thomas Schmitt <scdbackup@xxxxxxx> I found the bug and suggested an obvious fix. The most kernel merit i can claim is that i grepped through the kernel sources for callers of iso_date() and found them all ready for the change of result type. So maybe Co-developed-by: Thomas Schmitt <scdbackup@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Thomas Schmitt <scdbackup@xxxxxxx> But on the other hand you should verify my claims in 0000-cover-letter.patch before posting your patch. A year has passed since i did my research and testing. So my statements create not more authorship than a detailed bug report would do. Have a nice day :) Thomas _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
