My script just could not connect those 2 email addresses. I check for matches between the address itself (the part between the <>) or a match between the "name" part (before the <>). If either matches (or it is obvious) then I don't report it. I have reported very few of these. > Hence if this is wrong, then we've got a tooling problem with b4. > Why does b4 allow this rather than warn/fail if it's not actually > allowed in the linux-next tree? These reports are more of "is this right/was this a slipup?" rather than "this is not allowed" i.e.. there are circumstances under which the actual author does not (or cannot) provide a Signed-off-by and that is OK. --=20 Cheers, Stephen Rothwell --Sig_/Ib3YZiwGdgXiXVkvXyv/JJR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEENIC96giZ81tWdLgKAVBC80lX0GwFAmM8HfQACgkQAVBC80lX 0Gy3pwf/cMAIaArvSzuxPZW7Ukbfi+Q94kZevrN8DrTCdF4ZPVOnlK3FftiQUjVg TOtH3lRHFpRHxMIT/YLis5fgDlnhjXxk5rRM5iD8v9v/O+VhbmhfYxXKCUmJsI6v EPTGP6Ogyqz29P8G223zI46+rOzY2u117ICnKpRa7v3bqHJGDlUWQFEgDMJqZjbW UJGupQyFmuV6tN2wd4apZegM4wIBeGP0cLwCdL8Lv69afYy/EzTl09fLuevtF0rK bbib1IXbkjADfoSGKUI4lRbHobxyqVfx9mSycY6kmw/Fe/mp0Ykdq3b5LLWvsvcs 737eINxrchZpQ++GsXZ3kFR/Y+W48Q== =K9Ou -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/Ib3YZiwGdgXiXVkvXyv/JJR--
