This is not correct.  It is also an indicatioin who was explicitly
addressed when the patch was submitted, so you can later still see
from the commit message who was invited to commend and refrained from
doing so.  This may help a lot in discussions like "but I never had a
chance to see this patch".

Please keep these.  The are really useful.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
