The author signed-off-by checks are currently very vague. Cases like same name or same address are not handled separately.
When you run tests for this, how many mismatches are caused by name formatting changes like: From: "Developer, J. Random" <redacted> ... Signed-off-by: "J. Random Developer" <redacted>? Should these differences generate a warning? _______________________________________________ Linux-kernel-mentees mailing list Linux-kernel-mentees@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-kernel-mentees
