Reviewed-by: Paul Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- That's my first time using that tag ... fun. Now I'm wondering if there might be some improvements that you, me, or someone could make to the SubmittingPatches file that would explain more clearly that PATCH's should start off, right from the top or after the initial From: line if present, with: - The body of the explanation, which will be copied to the permanent changelog to describe this patch. rather than opening with ephemeral reactions to the discussion of the moment which will make little "sense to a competent reader who has long since forgotten the immediate details of the discussion that might have led to this patch." As best my legalistic mind understands the patch format, such ephemeral reactions should go after the "---" marker line, in the same section as the diffstat would be placed. Or perhaps the patch format should be changed in this regard, since it is cumbersome and unnatural to embed the ephemeral opening comments half way down the patch, rather than opening with them. I don't know. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
