It's a problem with your mail provider (yahoo.com), you personally can't do anything about this (except complaining to your provider or to switch to another one). See this URL for some details: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-03/msg05625.html Unless you are bothered and want to switch your provider, you can ignore the warning here, it's rather a note to the maintainer that they've got to adjust the "author" of the patch manually when they pick up the patch. > Q2: I am getting a WARNING but I believe it is an exception in this case. > yes I know it breaks the coding style BUT this coding style was already > there for these comments.

It's up to the maintainer of the subsystem (Laurent?) - IMHO it's ok to ask for an exception in this case, but a separate clean-up patch is certainly also welcome. Thomas
