Is your > submission signed off with your *real* name? *Yes* - I thought that was pretty obvious. Stephen determined that for whatever reason the name appearing in the Signed-By tag "is a bit strange", so it must either be made up or a pseudonym and I took issue with this. > This is a simple requirement for patch submissions.

I am not sure I understand that question, but my patch submission is simply to correct 3 bugs in the current iproute2 tree - there is no other (ulterior) motive behind it. I am letting people reviewing (or committing) that patch as they are the (current/rightful) maintainers of this project (iproute2). This (the reason for issuing the patch and the subsequent request to review it) was made, I think pretty clear, in the patch submission heading. > If it is not your real name it does violate the policy. It is that simple. > I was perfectly aware of that before making that submission - as I already pointed out in one of my previous posts, this isn't my first submission (in the kernel tree as well as in other open-source projects) and I hope it won't be the last.
