I do not mind if these topics disappeared, either, but we have spent review and discussion bandwidth for these unfinished topics and we may want to take them to the completion. > For my education, how does this affect the sign-off proceedure? Depending on the extent of changes from the original version, either you take the authorship (with comment in the log message saying that it is based on Such and Such's patches) or you still keep them as the author (with comment in the log message saying that you extended it in such and such way). In either case, as long as their original remains in the resulting patch, you retain their Sign-off and then add your Sign-off at the end. If you take the ideas from their series and rewrite everything from scratch, you would take the authorship, with comment in the log message saying that you took inspiration from Such and Such's patches, and have only your Sign-off.
