From 7b59d10e23b7cf1e9fbc2c595852e40317aef1e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Huth Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2021 08:15:12 +0100 Subject: scripts/checkpatch: Improve the check for authors mangled by the mailing list There were recently some patches on the list which had their "From:" line mangled like this: From: qemu_oss--- via Since our test in the checkpatch.pl script did not trigger here, the patches finally also ended up in a pull request, with the wrong author set. So let's improve the regular expression to also complain on these new patterns, too.
