Btw, what are these "asXXXX" ID's, and what does the noise buy us?

Doing a

  git log | egrep -w 'as[0-9]{3,}'

shows that this has been going on forever, but it still doesn't make
any *sense*. It adds nothing worthwhile. In fact, doing

  git log | grep 'This patch ('

shows that you're pretty the only one doing it, but there's *one*
other one jidong xiao: jx001. I really don't see the advantage of
having this kind of random noise in the kernel logs.
