It might be a good idea to join our mailing list.
When sending code, please either send signed-off patches or a pull request with signed-off commits. If you don’t sign off on them, we will not accept them. This means adding a line that says “Signed-off-by: Name
See: Signed-off-by Lines
Also, please write good git commit messages. A good commit message looks like this:
header line: explaining the commit in one line
Body of commit message is a few lines of text, explaining things
in more detail, possibly giving some background about the issue
being fixed, etc etc.
The body of the commit message can be several paragrahps, and
please do proper word-wrap and keep columns shorter than about
74 characters or so. That way "git log" will show things
nicely even when it's indented.
Reported-by: whoever-reported-it
Signed-off-by: Your Name
That header line really should be meaningful, and really should be just one line. The header line is what is shown by tools like gitk and shortlog, and should summarize the change in one readable line of text, independently of the longer explanation.
