This will trigger a missing signed-off-by check:

Commit 5038517119d5 ("netfilter: ipset: fix suspicious RCU usage in find_set_and_id")
	author Signed-off-by missing
	author email:    kadlec@...ckhole.kfki.hu
	committer email: pablo@...filter.org

Problem is that the name differs by 'o' vs 'ó' (József Kadlecsik).

I wonder if it's worth getting rid of diacritics for the comparison..
