That reads:
"- Send the patch, after verifying that it follows the above rules, to stable@vger.kernel.org. You must note the upstream commit ID in the changelog of your submission, as well as the kernel version you wish it to be applied to."
Maybe I'm a bit dumb, but what would be my changelog if the patch was written by someone else (and e.g. fixes something the author wasn't aware of or hasn't described)?
Sorry, but I don't understand "changelog" in that context. Should I modify the (description of the) patch?
Regards,
Alexander
