Which section of the "MAINTAINERS" file should I be looking at for the "console" you are thinking of? Certainly there are lots of hits for "console" in MAINTAINERS but I don't think I see any that are relevant that I missed. Grepping: $ grep -i console MAINTAINERS HYPERVISOR VIRTUAL CONSOLE DRIVER F: drivers/video/console/sti* PCDP - PRIMARY CONSOLE AND DEBUG PORT SGI SN-IA64 (Altix) SERIAL CONSOLE DRIVER STAGING - SPEAKUP CONSOLE SPEECH DRIVER VIRTIO CONSOLE DRIVER F: drivers/char/virtio_console.c F: include/linux/virtio_console.h F: include/uapi/linux/virtio_console.h ...none of those seem relevant upon first glance but I'm happy to stand corrected. Ah! Based on who you added to the CC list I guess you meant to CC "printk" folks? PRINTK M: Petr Mladek <pmladek@xxxxxxxx> M: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@xxxxxxxxx> R: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> S: Maintained F: kernel/printk/ F: include/linux/printk.h I'd be happy to CC those folks on future spins (if there are any). I'm not convinced that these patches are directly relevant to the printk subsystem, but I'm always happy for more people to have a chance to review patches. Hopefully anyone who needs this patch can find it on one of the relevant mailing lists. I screwed up and missed LKML this time around, but there are plenty of other mailing lists here that it could be found on. If requested I'm also happy to re-post the same series adding those 3 people if that's what everyone wants. -Doug
