Shouldn't @oracle.com e-mail used for such patches?

yeah was looking at all the @oracle addresses, but thought to just focus 
on this part, then later send out something for the addresses

Err, I actually meant that you (the submitter) should use @oracle.com
e-mail, because it looks a bit confusing why @gmail.com guy changes
copyrights :-)

Most importantly -- are you actually Oracle employee? Do you know what 
exactly happened to the copyrights after the acquisition?

This should come from an official oracle address. It's not trivial stuff
at all - its rather important it's done right.

Are you working for Oracle?  If so I would like to see these patches
with an @oracle.com signed-off-by address.  If not let's let the
companies involved sort out the copyrights.

copyrights(like what you said))

You can't change others' copyright, be it a company or not. AFAIK,
what you can do is adding/changing/improving/copying/... the code (and
add your own copyright for the changes if they are important enough);
but you have to maintain the original copyright if you keep the code

Yes, this copyright change, e.g five years after merging the relevant patches is like asking a school 
to change the family name posted on a graduate diploma just b/c few years later she got married and decided to adopt the family name of her spouse.

Or.
