Hi Franziska,
you do not need to submit v4 for me.

Here the reason what you need to take into account.

If you leave the e-mail addresses this way you need to monitor both for 
the next weeks. Because somebody(or a robot) may contact you for 
questions, errors or hints for improvement.

If you look into the kernel patch statistics:
http://www.remword.com/kps_result/all_petop.html
Look in google for: "kernel patch statistics"
You can find this person:
Franziska Naepelt <franziska ! naepelt () idt ! com> 
1(0.00%)	@IDT                             @Unknown
May be this is you. Maybe you want to see the number of patches in total 
that you have submitted. That is best possible if you submit all patches 
under one Email address.

May be you plan to vote for the Technical Advisory Board. Then you need 
to collect your patches (credits under one email address)

So all your choice.

Bye Philipp
