That would allow us to see easily what PRs are from you guys, and still keep them separate PRs. 3.1, I don't think every PR needs a mail, but please don't hesitate to send an email (or drop by irc) if you have any questions or bumping into a problem, I will try to answer it quickly. Thanks for organizing this, and helping the project! -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
