> +- Please use a real name with a valid email address. Please do not use

> +- You can discuss the change spanning multiple commits in an Issue that
> + can be referenced in the commit message.
> +- For a patch series which impacts multiple BSPs, it is common to put each BSP
> + into a separate patch. This improves the quality and specificity of the
> + commit messages.
> +- If you change the formatting of source code in a repository please
> + make that a separate patch and use "Formatting changes only" on the first
> + line. Please indicate the reason or process. For example to "Conforming
> + to code standing", "Reverting to upstream format", "Result of automatic
> + formatting".
> +- Similarly, if addressing a spelling, grammar, or Doxygen issue, please
> + put that in a commit by itself separate from technical changes.
