Mailing lists _should_ be copied on patch submissions. And the displayed output of that command-line does not match the actual behavior. The command-line is: $ perl scripts/get_maintainer.pl --separator , --nokeywords --nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats --nol -f drivers/staging/most/aim-sound/sound.c And the output shown is: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx That's not what's actually output by that command-line as it would not show the mailing list. $ perl scripts/get_maintainer.pl --separator , --nokeywords --nogit --nogit-fallback --norolestats --nol -f drivers/staging/most/aim-sound/sound.c Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
