Well, I don't know much about all of that. But I'll point out that the mailing list web interface does filter your email (so it already reads 'bshastry at sect.tu-berlin.de'). And bots can scrape the patchwork database for your actual email anyway (which will include the From: field). They even just subscribe to the list and then you offer it to them freely. It might be best to keep with the well formatted signed-off-by lines for now, and try to improve your spam filter technology. > Regards, > Bhargava > > On 09/28/2018 05:20 PM, Aaron Conole wrote: >> [email protected] writes: >> >>> From: Bhargava Shastry <[email protected]> >>> >>> oss-fuzz options file must begin with a [libfuzzer] header. >>> This was missing in the expr_parse_target.options file which this patch >>> fixes. >>> >>> Signed-off-by: Bhargava Shastry <bshastry at sect.tu-berlin.de> >>> --- >> >> Just wanted to let you know that the bot is complaining because of your >> signature line: >> >> 'Signed-off-by: Bhargava Shastry <bshastry at sect.tu-berlin.de>' >> >> I'm not sure if we should amend checkpatch to recognize this kind of >> construct.
