From 52acf6771bab465d34ed75689c87b118aaefc869 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2024 18:57:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] SubmittingPatches: tags -> trailers MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit “Trailer” is the preferred nomenclature in this project.
