[PATCH kmod 19/20] man: remove the "Maintained by" references

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@xxxxxxxxx>

At a glance through my system, around 2% of the man pages include such
statement.

Looking through git log, Jon has been active in a while and presumably
have moved on.

Most importantly the Copyright section isn't the best place to reference
the maintainer/contact person.

Instead we can add a note in the authors section, pointing people to the
ML/kernel.org/Github repo for when seeking contact.

Also should probably s/Developer/Maintainer/ for Lucas, who's been
keeping the project afloat the last few decades ;-)

Lucas, what do you think?
