Two comments: - minor nit: CC should be Cc to be consistent with what is suggested by check-git-log.sh for stable@dpdk.org. - Do we want to keep this Cc in the git history or is it just to notify people on the mailing list? I think it is good to keep in history the tags Acked-by: or Reviewed-by:. But if the author does not review the fix, I do not see the benefit of saving his name in the history.
