Hello.

Here is my Requirement For Comments (RFC).

3. Integration with git

  (a) Should be able to create git commits from patches (or patch series)
      tracked by it if pointed to a git branch (either locally or remotely).

  (b) Link tags pointing back to it should be added automatically to git
      commits created from patches tracked by it.

(c) Git tag sanity checking
    Some maintainers have scripts for these, but not all. I still see
quite some mails about this coming from linux-next checking.
    1) ensure SOB by the actual author
    2) verify correct SOB/ACK/Reviewed tag usage (funny to see how often
things are manually added and gotten slightly wrong)
    3) verify Fixes: tag usage (min shasum length, one line without
break, etc)

There are likely more.

Where and how this is to be done I would leave open as this is only
requirements collection right now. I just feel that this kind of sanity
checking could be easily automated, hopefully without getting into the
way of maintainers.
