[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] scripts: report on author emails that are mangled b


From: Daniel P . Berrangé
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] scripts: report on author emails that are mangled by the mailing list
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2018 11:25:02 +0100

In some cases the Author: email address in patches submitted to the
list gets mangled such that it says

    John Doe via Qemu-devel <address@hidden>

This change is a result of workarounds for DMARC policies.

Subsystem maintainers accepting patches need to catch these and fix
them before sending pull requests, so a checkpatch.pl test is highly
desirable.
