If it's clear where they belong, then sure, they should be somewhere other than drivers/misc/, but I don't see that it's clear for several of them. > I think I should finally do what has been talked about a few times and > formally become the maintainer of drivers/char and drivers/misc ;-) > > The problem is that I'm not actually a good maintainer, but maybe it's > better to just have someone instead of falling back to Andrew or > some random subsystem maintainer to send any patches for drivers/misc. We have fallbacks to Andrew and/or GregKH currently, but GregKH is not consistent or timely with applying drivers/misc/ patches. It deserves better. [added him to Cc: list] So yes, I think that drivers/misc/ (and probably drivers/char/) deserves a maintainer, but you are not making a good case for you being that person. -- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
