A couple of problems with your patches:

- First and foremost, you're patching the wrong file.  faq/faq.html is
  in fact an autogenerated file. The source is actually an XML file
  in the Cygwin repository itself: winsup/doc/faq.xml.

- Given the file you change is actually part of Cygwin, please add
  a "Cygwin:" prefix to your commit message summary line.

- Your commit messages should explain what your doing and a bit of
  why wouldn't hurt either.  Just the summary line is a bit on the
  terse end.

- Please give a real name as author name, and...

- ...please add a "Signed-off-by:" line.  This isn't necessary for your
  second patchset only changing a file actually maintained in
  cygwin-htdocs.

- Especially patch 4/4 is questionable.  I don't even understand what
  your summary line means, and the patch looks pretty big.  What is it
  doing?  Some explanation and splitting the patch if possible, please?


Thanks,
Corinna
