The approach taken seems like it would create a lot of churn. You have 2 kinds of developers - a) developers of the framework and b) developers of the tests themselves. Are you trying to shield framework developers from discussions about tests, or test developers from discussions about the framework? It seems like framework developers would be interested in seeing discussions about tests, and vice-versa. I'm not sure a new list is needed, but if the discussion needs to be split, I think it would be better to create a new list for framework-only discussions, and leave the old list handling all (both framework and tests). Like maybe have the new list be something like "linux-kselftest-core@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"? -- Tim > > Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > Posting as an RFC because we need to create the new ML. > > CC: shuah@xxxxxxxxxx > CC: linux-kselftest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > CC: workflows@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > --- > MAINTAINERS | 12 ++++++++++++ > 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS > index c27f3190737f..9a03dc1c8974 100644 > --- a/MAINTAINERS > +++ b/MAINTAINERS > @@ -12401,6 +12401,18 @@ S: Maintained > Q: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-kselftest/list/ > T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest.git > F: Documentation/dev-tools/kselftest* > +F: tools/testing/selftests/kselftest/ > +F: tools/testing/selftests/lib/ > +F: tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk > +F: tools/testing/selftests/Makefile > +F: tools/testing/selftests/*.sh > +F: tools/testing/selftests/*.h > + > +KERNEL SELFTEST TESTS > +M: Shuah Khan <shuah@xxxxxxxxxx> > +M: Shuah Khan <skhan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > +L: linux-kselftest-all@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > +S: Maintained > F: tools/testing/selftests/ > > KERNEL SMB3 SERVER (KSMBD) > -- > 2.46.2 >
