PATCH: Clarify maintainers and include security info (Version 2)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This version has the advanced new feature of including the correct email
address (duh sorry), and also another hint about the Signed-off-by:
bits. It goes on top of the original patch. Below this is a second diff
if the first wrong change was not applied.


Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <[email protected]) (or is that Screwed-up-by: ..)
