Just to be clear this isn't an Ack, but if you are going to list
maintainers for this my name should be on the list so this is the
preferred format. There are still some things to be cleaned up in this
patch.
Sure, I was talking about "Alexander seems to be the orginal author for
page_frag, we can add him to the MAINTAINERS later if we have an ack from
him." in the commit log.
Do we have to have a MAINTAINERS entry for every 1000 lines of code?
It really feels forced :/
I don't disagree. However, if nothing else I think it gets used as a
part of get_maintainers.pl that tells you who to email about changes
doesn't it? It might make sense in my case since I am still
maintaining it using my gmail account, but I think the commits for
that were mostly from my Intel account weren't they? So if nothing
else it might be a way to provide a trail of breadcrumbs on how to
find a maintainer who changed employers..
Would a .mailmap entry also help for your case, such that the mail
address might get mapped to the new one? (note, I never edited .mailmap
myself)
