Subject: Re: [PATCH] SubmittingPatches: clarify SOB tag usage when evolving submissions
Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2012 11:23:01 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120815082301.GA1359@mwanda> (raw)

I think it would be nice to have another tag for people who fix bugs
in the original patch.  The Reviewed-by tag implies approval of the
whole patch and anyway reviewers don't normally comment unless they
see a bug.  Maybe something like:

Contributor: Your Name <email@address.com>

So the tags for developers would be:

Signed-off-by:  The patch went through you.  Legal responsibility.
Acked-by:  You know what you are talking about and approve.
Reviewed-by:  You reviewed the patch and approve.
Contributor:  You noticed or fixed a bug in the patch.

regards,
dan carpenter
