The sentence wants to talk about the superproject's possesive, not plural form.

The author of the patch must sign-off, so the above three lines
should look more like so:

	From: Thomas Menzel <dev@tomsit.de>

	The sentence wants to talk about the superproject's
	possesive, not plural form.

	From: Thomas Menzel <dev@tomsit.de>

The content of the patch obviously is correct.

Thanks.

When anybody tries to respond to the quoted message [*1*] that came
from GGG in the way recommended for the list, the
*.noreply.github.com address gets placed on the Cc:, which is
probably not wanted.

Can GGG do something about it?  As GitHub specific service, it is
not wrong for it to know what noreply.github.com means so dropping
such an address from its Cc: line shouldn't be too difficult.

Thanks.
