I'm not subscribed to the LKML with a public address. Please Cc: me if you submit a patch for this so I can add a Nacked-By: and/or cleanup the list by removing redundant entires. Even if git-shortlog is changed to distinguish between people who share the same name, it would still be a list of exceptions rather than everyone. -- Simon Arlott
