REPOSITORY rL LLVM ================ Comment at: docs/DeveloperPolicy.rst:299 @@ +298,3 @@ +* `Attribution of Changes`_ should be in a separate line, after the end of + the body, as simple as "Patch by John Doe.". This is how we officially + handle attribution, and there are automated processes that use that, so ---------------- Please use an exclamation mark like "Patch by John Doe!". For whatever reason this seems to be the way it is usually done.
