Good point, the reporter of:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1868899

has done most of the ideapad with touchpad issues testing for me
and has been very helpful. I agree he deserves credit for this.

I've asked him if he is ok with adding a Tested-by tag and if yes,
which email we should use.
