Gao, don't worry about it...  It's not a bug fix.  These kinds of
patches are straight forward to review.  You either apply it instantly
or you respond and delete it from your brain.

We don't try to co-ordinate patches.  We just apply whatever comes in
the order that it arrives.

If it's a bugfix then it's another story.  In that case we do ask people
to redo it.  Sometimes for security patches, I have fixed patches for
people and given them authorship credit with the From: header in git.
Other times maintainers write their own patch and give Reported-by
credit instead.

For checkpatch.pl patches, if you decide to do the work yourself then
there is no Reported-by tag required.

If you try to keep track of everyone sending patches then it's too much
work...  Forget about it.
