* How do you think about to convert a part of this change description
  to an imperative wording?
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?h=v6.9#n94

* Please avoid a typo in the domain of an email address.

* Can the proposed source code cleanup be relevant for the addition
  of the tag “Fixes”?

Regards,
Markus
