Subject: [PATCH] scripts/checkpatch: Improve the check for authors mangled by the mailing list
Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2021 08:15:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210216071512.1199827-1-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
There were recently some patches on the list which had their "From:"
line mangled like this:
From: qemu_oss--- via <qemu-devel@nongnu.org>
Since our test in the checkpatch.pl script did not trigger here, the
patches finally also ended up in a pull request, with the wrong author
set. So let's improve the regular expression to also complain on
these new patterns, too.
