Dave, please help me understand the rules here.
Jamal gave me untested patch that had 8 lines deleted and said
"untested... to push it please go ahead."
I've removed one more line and added 2 extra.
My understanding is that 'From' applies to 100% authorship, no?
If no, where is the line?
I've seen people adding 'joint work' line and add sobs in order
of contribution % where the guy who sends it to the list is the
last sob, right?
Or any follow up work that based even on 10% of initial patch should
have 'from' of the first author? That doesn't sound right.
