> I passed the "-v2", didn't it wrok?

No, I would expect the patch subject to look like "[PATCH v2 x/y]". What
I do is to run git format-patch this way:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
git format-patch -4 --cover-letter --subject-prefix="PATCH v2"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

there might better ways though.

Ok, then you might want to add Ludo and Vincent copyrights that appear
to have modified those packages according to git blame.

Thanks,
