Hi all,

I poked around the docs, but I could not find any option to have git send email to people who signed off a patch when it's merged. I only realized the two patches I sent were merged because they were listed in the RC changelog summary and would have followed up my patch email in a about a week, asking about its status.

Does anyone else think this is useful? Does anyone else think it should make it into main so it can be enabled via config, not via a hook that needs to be imported into each and every repo?
