</span>Good hints. If it's not already in CODING, we could add these<br>
guidelines in that file.<br>
<br>
Also, since most of you don't seem to be annoyed by the "funded by"<br>
sentences, I think we can agree on Victor's proposal: if the new<br>
feature/bug fix etc. was funded by an organization, a company or an<br>
individual, a single line (80 chars max) sentence can be added as the<br>
last line of the commit, after a blank line.<br>
<br>
That line should be added only in the last "merge" (final) commit and<br>
not on all and every individual commit.<span class="im"><br></span></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I disagree.
