+That sounds like a very good idea indeed, combine this with the
+signed-off-by line [1] and it could be a very good workflow.
+
+wether that signed-off-by line is added automatically with what’s in
+LDAP or added manually is another debate.
+
+Adding it automatically might not be easy, unless we’re moving to git
+(which might not be a simple change either)
+Adding it manually would allow one to decide what he’d like to use.
