vger continues to cause trouble and it doesn't sound that the fix is coming.
So having everyone directly cc-ed is the only option we have.
Yeah, Exhibit A - vger is lagging right now...
I guess the "real fix" is on the vger, trying to massage MAINTAINERS
now is not a great use of time..
The real fix is to move away from vger and adjust get_maintainer
script to be smarter when the mailer can do its job.
MAINTAINERS file should list everyone who performs code reviews
and maintains the code.
Agree to all above. I think to address Jakub's concern, we could adapt
this regex similarly as we have in XDP and move this as a remainder to
a misc/noise section, like below:
diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS
index dbf978014e8a..b5a1960c8339 100644
