I'm perfectly fine with Link:, however Reported-By: usually has the person's name and email address (i.e. PII data per GDPR definition). If that person submitted the bug report via bugzilla.kernel.org or a similar resource, their expectation is that they can delete their account should they choose to to do so. However, if the patch containing Reported-By is committed to git, their PII becomes permanently and immutably recorded for any reasonable meaning of the word "forever." Now, I'm pretty sure that a request to rebase git history to edit a commit message would be considered "unreasonable" under GDPR provisions, but a) it still eats up valuable time handling such requests and b) it's a consequence reporters are not aware of when they submit bug reports. So, my request to ask for permission before using "Reported-By" is not coming from any legal position, but from the perspective of courtesy to people submitting those reports. -K
