Now I am truly confused. The above reads to me that you prefer "Queen Ediri Jessa" as your author identity, which was why I said I was surprised because [v3] used QueenJcloud for author identity and sign off (matching author identity to what was used to sign-off feels like a tail wagging the dog).

I can make the author identity and sign-off of the version I queue consistent locally before applying to save an extra patch exchange, of course. But now I am not sure if I understand your preference correctly.

Thanks.
