Re: [iot-pmc] Small patch exceptions?
Thanks Wayne, I have just resent my mail in case it went to any spam folder…

So what you are saying is that authors that are mentioned as an „Also-by“ do NOT necessarily require an ECA? Only the person creating the commit needs to have the ECA?

Cheers,
Kai

My apologies. I don't see anything in the EMO inbox.

You can give credit by adding an "Also-by" footer in the Git commit message. The listed individual will appear in the IP Log and in the charts on the project pages.

I already reached out to EMO last week and will keep waiting for a response and post here, if there is any outcome.

Cheers,
Kai
