I think it's very useful information to have. For a start, it tells you who has the hardware and knows how to build a kernel. So if you're making a change to a driver and want it tested, you can troll the file's changelog looking for people who might be able to help.
A similar argument would apply to Reported-by:, which we possibly also need. But it's all perhaps a bit much for poor kernel developers to keep track of ;) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
