That sounds like a very good idea indeed, combine this with the signed-off-by line [1] and it could be a very good workflow. wether that signed-off-by line is added automatically with what’s in LDAP or added manually is another debate. Adding it automatically might not be easy, unless we’re moving to git (which might not be a simple change either) Adding it manually would allow one to decide what he’d like to use.
