I don't see a mention of SubmittingPatches in "git show 2caa7b8d27"
output. git help git tells me:
Report bugs to the Git mailing list
where the development and maintenance is primarily done. You
do not have to be subscribed to the list to send a message
there.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed
privately to the Git Security mailing list
.
Do you mean that the discussion around that change suggested updating
SubmittingPatches too? The "Sending your patches" section indeed
mentions git@vger.kernel.org, so a mention of the security list would
indeed be welcome there, even though typically the discussion has
already started there before a patch is written.
Thanks,
Jonathan
