I made the patch with "git send-email --cover --annotate", and then edited
the messages with vim.

I added the S-o-b lines by copy-pasting them from the test mail I
had send to Matthieu (from thunderbird). I saw there was a problem of
encoding with the "é" of
Clément, so I modified it.

I think I should have written the S-o-b lines directly in vim.
