Hi Aman,

Thank you for the patch! But before this can be accepted there are a few
things that you need to take care of.

1. Signed-off-by *must* *always* include your full real name. You can
modify .gitconfig, or run `git config user.name "Your Name"` to change
this.

2. The document identifier must always start with an underscore and
should not contain white spaces, something like:
.. _checklist_doc:
should work.
