Thanks. Now I understand. So if the contributor is authorized and
confident of the patch, he will use [PATCH], [COMMIT], [OB] OR [FYI],
and then check-in his patch. Otherwise, [RFA] or [RFC] is used
instead. Correct?
Is there a FAQ for this mailing list? If so, it will save our time in
the future, and the newer can join the discussion much more easily.
