While I am in support of the general idea, could you change my SOB to something like Inspired-by? This is really your patch, but I did demonstrate the idea in an article where the intention was to apply a patch out of tree to do stack dumps / tracing. SOB on the other hand is supposed to track the flow of a patch (the people who the patch goes through) when it is sent upstream. Thanks, - Joel
