Can you please fix your mail client to not pointlessly copy the full mail header? On Thu, 16 Nov 2017, Thomas Gleixner wrote: is enough.

The first one is from the author. The following ones are from people who handled, transported or applied the patch. See Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst the chapter: Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 for further clarification. Unfortunately we have no canonical way to express joint develoment, but we have used non formal tags for that, like Co-developed-by: which give credits to the people who were involved in the development. Thanks, tglx
