And today - should Ilpo be added to the list of contacts for this tree?

Yeah, I'm in practice the person who is handling pdx86 patches these days so it would be good.

...Goes to do some massive history rewriting...

My bad, I missed you (Ilpo) were not getting these emails, sorry.

I finally went and improved my patch getting script to block any submissions for which git interpret-trailers shows no Sign-off-by lines. That'll make it in practice impossible for me to apply such submissions anymore.

It's not entirely foolproof though as the Signed-off-by could still be invalid one e.g. by being different from From and I don't know easy way to extract From from a patch file (consider encodings and multiple From lines properly).

The script -next uses is:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/next-utils/tools.git/tree/check_commits?h=main

Greg K-H has a script a bunch of people use which is a bit more friendly for using in commit hooks and whatever, I don't have a URL to hand for it immediately though.

Hi Mark,

Something odd is likely going on here. Neither of those commits above are in my tree anymore.

Your latest merge:

commit 233956951080612ff68d0c54f620606c53a1c91c

Merge branch 'for-next' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pdx86/platform-drivers-x86.git

I don't know how you got that 98f039265e58 but that hasn't been in pdx86 tree for multiple days by now:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/infra/transparency-logs/gitolite/git/1.git/commit/?id=1bd7f5b78426fd94a4a3f75c79835a4416809e87

That's what I fetched yesterday, I don't know if there was some infra issue which caused the fetch to fail. What I'm seeing for today is commit 893018d51f27ec0449155b0afe371aaf65380630, hopefully that's what you expected.

893018d51f27ec0449155b0afe371aaf65380630 should no longer have the issue and is the current for-next head.

Have a nice day. :-)
