I just list the test that discovered the bug and which was cleared by the commit, and assume that the test author will get credited in the upstream test repository (e.g., such as generic/750 from fstests or inotify02 from ltp). So it's not something that I've worried about. I suppose if the test repository isn't as well known, or if the test hasn't been checked anywhere at all, your concern that the test author should be credited is something I can understand. But it hasn't come up for me. In other cases, if the commit hasn't been stable yet (say for kunit or kselftests coming from some other tree), I'll just throw in a Link: tag pointing at lore.kernel.org. - Ted
