Hi,

looks like Emre's emails do not even have X-Mailer header, and if he
had, it wouldn't be git. So I don't think we can enable this filtering
after all.

I suppose there are also other people who for one reason or another
don't use git-send-email.

IMHO, it is less of a burden to prune accidental patches from Patchwork
than cause people grief by rejecting legitimate patches. Or does that
screw up the patch revision or series tracking?


Thanks,
pq
