Pulled - but I have a silly request.
Can you fix your kernel.org email sending setup so that you have a
real name, not just your login name?
This is not your fault, btw. I think the kernel.org email sending
documentation is actively misleading and wrong, with
https://korg.docs.kernel.org/mail.html
and the 'getsmtppass' output saying that you should do things like
from = "[username]@kernel.org"
in your git config (or mutt settings), like you were some kind of bot
that didn't have an actual name.
Konstantin, can we please get the kernel.org documentation and
getsmtpass output fixed? We had somebody else who also ended up being
nameless (Ingo, I think) due to following the documentation a bit too
slavishly.
We are human. We have actual names. Yes, the email address is
important for setting up email, but it should be
Real Name Here <realname@xxxxxxxxxx>
not *just* the kernel.org user name..
