That's always going to be an issue with signoffs - people's addresses can and do go bad at any point. > Also note that this is not Tomasz who is submitting this patch today, but Ulf > who doesn't even work for Samsung as far as I know. > So I'd suggest using "Tomasz Figa <[email protected]>" as a "From:", > remove > his s-o-b entirely (and using the Ulf's one only) and add something like that > to the changelog: > "This patch was originally submitted by Tomasz Figa when he was employed > by Samsung. > Link: <URL-of-the-original-submission>" > This way Samsung will get the recognition and there won't be bouncing > addresses > in tags etc. Stripping people's signoffs seems more worrying than a bouncing address TBH - it's more alarming to see a commit log that's missing an author signoff than finding an address that doesn't work, I'd probably just drop any submissions that did that. If you're really worried updating the signoff address or adding a comment with the new one is probably better.
