But your signed-off-by was a correct email address with your real identity, as per: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/... Right? It's true that all systems can be gamed and you could no doubt fool the right maintainer to take a patch from a fraudulent source. But the point is that it's not as simple as this grad student just resubmitting work under a different name. |

Maybe?
My point with the above comment was more to point out that there is no special '"presumptive good faith" pass' that comes along with a .edu e-mail address, not that it's possible to subvert the system (that's already well known).
Everyone, including some random dude with a Hackers (1995) reference for an e-mail address (myself) gets that "presumptive good faith" pass.
