Signed-off-by is not enough? >=20 >=20 The tags were inherited from the kernel development process. =EF=BF=BC Signed-off-by is the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin) attestation.=20 It says "I certify that I have the right to submit this code under the proj= ect's license. Co-developed-by explicitly marks someone as a co-author of the patch.=20 Without it, there's only one author recorded in the git metadata. I just wanted check-git-log.sh to be quiet if it was used. The Co-developed-by is new, and probably came about because some people need/want to have their contributions recorded in the git statistics. Silly corporate overlords count contributions and it matters to them... PS: If DPDK was exactly following the kernel process, every time a patch wa= s merged into a sub-tree it would get a Signed-off-by from a maintainer. Because the maintainer is v= alidating that the submitter had the correct rights.
