Ahh, indeed. I was looking at commit feea1db26e5b ("[PATCH] defxx: Use
irqreturn_t for the interrupt handler") from 2005, but yes, the raw
commit information has your linux-mips address, and it's just that
"git log" will translate it to something much newer...

But I really don't think we've ever been *so* strict about pgp keys
having all the proper pgp key signature chains. Yes, it's the normal
rule and the regular way people identify themselves, but nothing
should ever be mindlessly black-and-white.
