My From name and Signed-off name matches. But my emails donot match.
Which is fine - unless you are submitting patches to Mark 8). I also usually split my email address and GregKH doesn't seem to mind at all.
I usually end up applying but I don't like having to think about it and normally only for people I recognise both addresses and all the names for - there's a lot of places that can fall over.
I was suspecting that since this is a new email address so you objected whereas you have seen my vectorindia email many times so you got used to it. :) Let me use my new email address the way I was using my old address and you will see its same "me".
I've noticed an increase in the number of people missing out signoffs recently for some reason so anything that looks like a non-author message is a red flag.
The other option I suppose would be to put both addresses in the signed off by sequence, but that probably causes confusion
The other option is to just not use the work address if you don't want to use it (that's what I do).
Since I use my work resources and office working hours to generate and submit patches so I think I should use my work address as signoff.
