Add a note after the `git send-email` section explaining how contributors can confirm that their patches reached the mailing list by checking https://lore.kernel.org/git/. This helps contributors verify that their emails were successfully delivered.

OK. It is a bit unexpected that you have picked a less name-looking author identity (it is more common to use some form of your real name around here, as described in Documentation/SubmittingPatches), but that's OK.

You didn't mean to add these patch files, I strongly suspect ;-)

Will queue without these two extra files.  Thanks.

Re: [PATCH v3] MyFirstContribution: add note on confirming patches

Thanks for reviewing and for the clarification. I appreciate the feedback and will make sure to exclude generated patch files in future submissions.

Regarding the author identity, I wanted to clarify that Queen Ediri Jessa is my real name; the same one I used in my first patch. I adjusted the configuration to ensure my author name matches the one in the Signed-off-by line, based on your earlier feedback:

"We want to see that author identity and the identity on Sign-off match. I can tweak the author identity on our end for this patch, but if you are going to send further patches please make sure that your [user] name = '...' configuration is what you wrote on the Sign-off line."

Best regards, Queen Ediri Jessa

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.

For now, I'll queue the following for this topic.  Thanks!
