This can be fine.

Are you aware how author information can be better preserved for patches?


> The resolution to this is either the author and the SOB change to "Markus Elfring <Markus.Elfring@....de>" or "Markus Elfring <Markus.Elfring@....de>" adds a SOB at the end to show the path the patch took (reference the paragraph in the documentation you linked to, starting at line 449).

There are obviously two email addresses which refer to me.

Would you be willing to clarify the proposed change possibility another bit?
(Would another patch variant become relevant for the affected software component at all?)

Markus
