Eli already gave the answer but I just want to add that this makes life
easier for you as well. The ~15 LOC rule doesn't apply to each patch on
its own but to the cumulative contributions of one individual. If
someone contributed four patches, each adding/changing just four lines,
they'd be one line over the (not so hard) limit already. And getting
diffstats for commits of one author is easy whereas it's harder if you
need to take the commit message into account.
Bye,
Tassilo
