Not sure it is documented anywhere. It appeared to be the widely used, most sensible approach, so I adopted it a few years ago. This method provides us with information which would otherwise be absent; including description of the patch submission/acceptance path and an idea of who did what, when. For example: Original Author sign-off Original Co-author sign-off [Additional contributions: rebase, API changes, fix-ups] Re-worker's sign-off Tester's tested-by Reviewer's acked-by/reviewed-by Level-2 Maintainer sign-off Level-1 Maintainer sign-off Are you aware of a more functional/practical/useful method? -- Lee Jones Linaro Services Technical Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
