Jamal gave me untested patch that had 8 lines deleted and said "untested... to push it please go ahead." I've removed one more line and added 2 extra. My understanding is that 'From' applies to 100% authorship, no? If no, where is the line? I've seen people adding 'joint work' line and add sobs in order of contribution % where the guy who sends it to the list is the last sob, right? Or any follow up work that based even on 10% of initial patch should have 'from' of the first author? That doesn't sound right.
