Gee, who would that be? Why be so indirect? (Even though you are both the stable and the staging maintainer) Why don't you just write "How come I didn't get cc'd?" I'm the closest thing there is to a MAINTAINERS maintainer. Andrew has taken all the patches I've posted to it except for the patchset that added file patterns and you're rarely a path to get things into MAINTAINERS. $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f --rolestats MAINTAINERS Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:97/515=19%) Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:83/515=16%) "David S. Miller" <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:35/515=7%) And you already had written that you wouldn't take a similar individual patch. http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/2/428 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
