I have a full time job and several other open\nsource projects that I contribute to, so if I can find time, I'll try\nto submit my own patch. In the meantime, it seems appropriate to file\na bug so that others can have the opportunity to solve the problem if\nthey're interested.\n\n-- \n-Austin\n"},{"id":"287505","messageId":"CA+DCAeSqTitycrO2y=SdutK1H2+jbzp7OzbhZ3pOYY_YOdOkGw@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"42427","inReplyTo":"CACC5Q1c2s4yOtGAtKsepwnme7udq7yqyN7S5BfMHbi0L08XwzA@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: Please add a git config option to make --show-signature the default","fromName":"Mehul Jain","fromEmail":"mehul.jain2029@gmail.com","sentAt":"2016-05-25T18:18:57Z","receivedAt":"2016-05-25T18:18:57Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"mehul.jain2029@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/14936539?v=4"},"body":"Hi,\n\nOn Wed, May 25, 2016 at 9:28 AM, Austin English wrote:\n> I'll try\n> to submit my own patch.
