This can be fine. > There is no SOB from "Markus Elfring <[email protected]>" therefore > "Markus Elfring <[email protected]>" has not followed the DCO. Are you aware how author information can be better preserved for patches? > The resolution to this is either the author and the SOB change to "Markus > Elfring <[email protected]>" or "Markus Elfring <[email protected]>" > adds a SOB at the end to show the path the patch took (reference the > paragraph in the documentation you linked to, starting at line 449). There are obviously two email addresses which refer to me. Would you be willing to clarify the proposed change possibility another bit? (Would another patch variant become relevant for the affected software component at all?) Regards, Markus
