That's a good point. It does look a little strange that there is
an email in our Documentation/ directory. I wondered if this was
included in the docs that get posted to git-scm.com, but I see that
the link I manually constructed [1] redirects to the GitHub mirror.
[1] https://git-scm.com/docs/howto/using-signed-tag-in-pull-request.txt
As long as this file remains formatted as an archived email message,
the edits here are inappropriate. It's another question of whether the
files within Documentation/howto should be updated to be docs that can
be more easily posted in places like git-scm.com.
For now, I'll remove these edits from the patch.
Thanks,
-Stolee
