About 2% of the last 100K commits have email addresses that include an RFC2822 compliant comment like: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> checkpatch currently does a comparison of the complete name and address to the submitted author to determine if the author has signed-off and emits a warning if the exact email names and addresses do not match. Unfortunately, the author email address can be written without the comment like: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Add logic to compare the comment stripped email addresses to avoid this warning.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
