Hermann, I changed the subject so as not to deter from the original RFC. When somebody hijaacks a thread, discussing an entirely different topic, while retaining the original subject line, it makes these threads entirely difficult to follow. Please change the subject if you are going to change the discussion. About dvb maintainer -- The job is being done by the DVB maintainers, collectively. Mauro is the v4l maintainer, and he is acting patch monkey for both subsystems. This model is working OK for now. When a topic comes up and a decision needs to be made about the DVB subsystem, us DVB maintainers discuss it on email _and_ irc. Mauro does not make decisions for the DVB subsystem, and he has been sticking to his own area. Nobody blames Mauro for "doing the dirt" -- He does v4l stuff only. Mauro does a good job forwarding patches, and there is no reason to change it, unless a dvb maintainer has a problem with how he is doing so. If there is such a problem, then it should be discussed and dealt with. IN ITS OWN THREAD. Please keep unrelated topics separate.
