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. --=20 Best Regards, Sean Chen
