I'm making this additional change to your log message:

  - suffix (if any) removed.
  -
  - Reported-by: Jim Meyering <[email protected]>
  + suffix (if any) removed.  Reported by Jim Meyering.

Please do not list email addresses in  "Reported by" log comments.
The name->email correlation belongs in the combination of THANKS.in
and git-log+.mailmap.
