Alexandre, you did a rebase which makes you the committer of all the
commits you rebased - you need to add a signoff (git rebase --signoff
might help).

It is in whatever was there when I fetched the trees this morning which
was some time before I finished the merge and ran the summary stuff so
you may have updated it later.

As indicated in the original mail and repeated followups the relevant
commit is 3edcea7f0413e84863300998ad3838eb87e6fca7 which looks from the
changelog like it was originally a merge but is not described as such in
the git metadata, it is just an apparently empty commit with a single
parent with a suspiciously similar changelog.  My theory was that
something had gone wrong with a rebase or scripting.  I only check for
signoff problems on non-merge commits, merge commits are ignored since
they are not normally signed off.

I assume you hit this on the branch I pushed out earlier today, which
started fresh from 7.3 with just a single merge. I've amended that
commit with an S-o-b now, but I'm not sure if that is what you are
asking.

When you write "and also isn't showing up as a merge", do you mean
your script has an exception for merge commits to not need S-o-b
but fails to detect this one as a merge? I see that about half the
merges in linux-next (including your daily merges) are not signed off,
so I'm not sure if we are all doing this wrong the same way, or if
there is a different problem with the soc tree.

These issues are *still* present today.  It's making noise whenever I
check -next for ongoing issues, it'd be good if the branch could be
rebuilt.

This issue (and the matching author signoff) is still present today.
