Team maintenance probably makes good sense; while we do want to maintain consistency across all filesystem tests, each fs does have its own unique requirements as well. So perhaps one maintainer from each major fs contributor to the test corpus would make sense; a general agreement about review requirements for the repo as a whole and for cross-fs tests in particular would probably be a good idea, to maintain that consistency and avoid surprises or contention. -Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fstests" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
