This time, your cover letter lists: Message-id: <52387bc4.8223440a.6e6a.163b(a)mx.google.com&gt; which is valid; but your patches list: References: <1379433398-21795-1-git-send-email-y> In-Reply-To: <1379433398-21795-1-git-send-email-y> which is still not a valid email reference (according to the RFCs, References: and In-Reply-To: fields should contain an @), and therefore are not threaded to the cover letter. Note how confused the list archiver got when trying to decipher your mail: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/thread.html#01007 For an example of threading done right, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-September/thread.html#00982 There, the cover letter uses: Message-id: <cover.1379428840.git.mprivozn(a)redhat.com&gt; and each patch contains: References: <cover.1379428840.git.mprivozn(a)redhat.com&gt; In-Reply-To: <cover.1379428840.git.mprivozn(a)redhat.com&gt; When working on git mail configurations, it is often a good idea to use 'git send-email --to=YOUR@EMAIL' and send the patches to yourself first, to check if you have properly configured git, before sending to the list. At any rate, please don't resend just because of this (3 attempts is enough for one day; the patches are available, even if we have to hunt a bit for them); just remember it for you next future patch submission :) I've tried to send the patches to my own email before I send-email to libvir-list. But How do I confirm it's ok? Make sure the patch series with the same Message-id, References and In-Reply-To info? And What're the whole libvirt development workflow? After I submit a patch, What will happen following? Is there anyone assigned to review it? If modification need to be made for the patches, should submitter send new patch email? Or If the patch is not so interested, will it be ignored? And what's the requirement for a patch to be signed off? Thanks ------------------ Best regards! GuanQiang 14:30:25
