that's a good point. I was thinking about the reason for it and pretty much
wanted to get feedback from Tom about it.

In doc/develop/sending_patches.rst is said that patches should be sent as plain
text but encoding is not specified. Traditionally this was ASCII and I pretty
much don't see the reason to use UTF encoding (even my name has special czech
char which I am not using, the same is for Marek Vasut).

Thanks,
