A couple of practical questions:

Do you have a preference either way for being kept or omitted from CC? I.e. if/when you'd come back to have that E-Mail backlog, or for us to stop CC-ing you? Clearly you'd still get some traffic, but at least us list regulars could take that into account.

You have various WIP code in topics at https://github.com/peff/git. Some of which has your SOB, some not. I keep it as a remote and sometimes run into prior art with "log --all <path>" and the like.

You noted a while ago (IIRC, haven't dug up where) that inline patches of yours to the list could be assumed to have your SOB, does the same apply to what's sitting in that repo?

I picked up/stole some patches from it recently for the e48a623dea0 (Merge branch 'ab/http-drop-old-curl', 2021-08-24) topic. It might be useful for me/others to similarly pick WIP work from there in the future, obviously while clearly communicating that this is based on some WIP patch that sat in your repo, not something you submitted on-list.
