That really doesn't say what is happening here at all.  Please provide a
lot more information as the response from a tool could, or could not, be
a real issue, how are we supposed to know?

And "unassigned" really isn't the bug that is being fixed here, please
describe it better.

Same for patch 2 of the series.

Also, your 0/2 email was not threaded with these patches, something odd
happened in your email setup, you might want to look into that.

thanks,
