The media subsystem used to have a multi-commiter's model in the past, but things didn't go well on that time, and we had to move to a centralized model. As the community has evolved, and as there are now new policies in place like CoC, let's experiment with a multi-committers again. The model we're using was inspired by the DRM multi-committers model. Yet, media subsystem is different on several aspects, so the model is not exactly the same. The implementation will be in phases. For this phase, the goal is that all committers will be people listed at MAINTAINERS. On this series: patch 1 adds a reference for PGP kernel keychain, in preparation for links to it; patch 2 fix two issues at the media MAINTAINERS file (S: and P:) tags; patch 3: updates the media maintainer's entry profile and adds the workflow that will be used with the new model; patch 4: adds a new document focused at the new maintainers process. Its target is for developers that will be granted with commit rights at the new media-maintainers.git tree. It also contains a reference tag addition to kernel.org PGP chain at process/maintainer-pgp-guide.rst. patch 5: make documents cleared about maintainership duties. --- v4: - patches 1 and 2 were split from other patches; - minor editorial changes as proposed by Hans, Sakari and Ricardo. v3: - added patch 3; - addressed nits pointed by Ricardo during his review; - did minor editorial changes to improve Sphinx html output. v2: I tried to address most of the suggestions where there was an agreement from Laurent's review and further comments. As there were several changes, on separate threads, I could have missed something.
