I see nothing wrong with using it to give credit to patches during review, I also do this when static analysis finds a problem in a patch before it gets upstream. If the report fixes upstream code then I additionally add a "Fixes" tag. If you'd rather I don't list you as reported-by that's fine, but there's nothing in the definition of Reported-by in Documentation/SubmittingPatches that requires the bug to be upstream first. > Additionally, please consider to use a more descriptive name instead of > "dev", e.g. "parent". Sure, will do.
