while your cover letter's actual headers included:

I don't know how you got your sending side to use two different sets of
In-Reply-To, but it breaks at least Thunderbird's abilities to rethread
the messages (thunderbird apparently only pays attention to the last
header, while only the first one would cause correct threading).

If you are basing this patch off of earlier work (for example, you
mentioned Igor's work), you may need additional S-o-b lines for work you
copied from the earlier versions.

Claiming Red Hat copyright makes it sound like you are basing this off
an earlier version.  That is the correct thing to do if you indeed
copied something with Red Hat copyright, but seems weird if you wrote it
from scratch.

Do you want to claim 2017 as well?
