congratulations. as someone who is a bit of a finnaboo and lives there, it's my dream to have had contributed something to the linux kernel. I was wondering if you used the same email for the commit as your github profile so that it shows up in the contributor list in the github mirror of the kernel and on your profile? I don't think I see the contribution when taking a quick glance at your github
I just checked this, and it seems like GitHub is a bit weird about tracking these. It didn't show up on my profile at all until I just now forked[0] torvalds/linux on GitHub. Now it shows up on my profile on May 9th (author date), but the link to the commit is broken, because repository authors page it points to filters on the commit date, not the author date.
Broken link points here and shows no commits: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commits?author=vkoskiv&sin...
If I correct the date range to include the maintainer commit date (May 15th), the commit shows up: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commits?author=vkoskiv&sin...
Also strange that if I only filter on author[1], nothing shows up. Though I suspect that dataset might only be updated periodically.
