Subject: [PATCH] MyFirstContribution: add tip for confirming patches reached the mailing list
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 16:15:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251024151532.1968-1-qjessa662@gmail.com> (raw)

After explaining how to send patches using `git send-email`, add a helpful tip
for contributors on how to confirm that their patches were successfully sent
and appeared on the mailing list. This provides reassurance for newcomers and
helps them verify their submission.
