Just be careful results are produced for the big picture and not used to point fingers at individuals. >(There are several clues > that can aid in determining this, a commit msg along the lines of > "fixes ..." being the most obvious.) One thing I thought of is that the more "Acked-by", "Reviewed-by" and "Signed-off-by" lines a patch has, the better reviewed we can probably assume it to be and thus the probability of it having introduced a bug probably drops slightly compared to other less-reviewed patches... or maybe not, but at least it's something to think about :-) -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
