I have no objections to this, but maybe Florian Mickler
(cc'd) who did analysis on signatures awhile ago might.

Yes.  In my experience, a lot of tested-by's come from random internet
victims who happened to report a bug and who we'll never hear from
again and who don't want to be told other things about
whatever-part-of-the-kernel-that-was.

Perhaps the set "has a tested-by, doesn't have reported-by" would
filter out a lot of these, dunno.  It all sounds a bit marginal.



Also, lots of people have used a "Reported-and-tested-by" and there are
even a few lysdexic "Tested-and-[rR]eported-by" tags in there.

Any time I see one of these things I stomp on it and turn it into
separate reported-by and tested-by lines, as Reported-and-tested-by
just adds pointless duplication, work and noise.  But I appear to have
lost that fight.


This fashion of adding new and innovative changelog tags just creates
inaccuracy and work for people who wish to mine that data for something
useful, as Alexandre is finding out.

Geeze, guys.  Who knew there were so many Kernel Komedians?

Andrew - stomp harder!

I'm well aware that it's not your job to fix this mess - just couldn't 
help myself commenting on your "Any time I see one of these things I stomp 
on it" comment...  You should stomp, and stomp HARD!

Lighten up.
I don't think there's a real issue with Kernel Komedy.
It's a real small % of all signatures.

But comedi is still gross and ugly, keep at it Harley...

I'd hope as infrequently as possible,
but it's certainly useful or at least
truthful.

Seriously crappy subject line.

It should be for checkpatch.

I see my sporadically used "Not-yet-signed-off-by" doesn't show up.
Good, so far no one committed any of those ;-)
