Thanks a lot for your reply Harald,

I'm glad I didn't mess things up completely then. I guess we can live with
"unknown" for this commit.

I thought I had to go via my GitHub account since that account is what is
given permission to push to ops4j. Or did I misunderstood this - perhaps
anyone can push to ops4j projects?
