Jason, thank you for willing to be a co-maintainer. Jason, if you are going to send pull requests to Linus you should be aware of the following: * Linus trusts pull requests from a kernel.org repository more than pull requests from a repository outside kernel.org (e.g. github). Any requests to pull from e.g. github must be PGP-signed. * If you send an e-mail to Wu Fengguang then he will add a branch from your repository to his zero-day testing. This is a great way to catch build failures before linux-next catches these. * Any patches that will be sent to Linus must have been in the for-next repository for at least a few days. Requests to add a branch to linux-next should be sent to Stephen Rothwell with linux-next in Cc. * Maintainers are expected to keep an eye on merge conflicts and other reports sent out to the linux-next mailing list (http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-next). * Rebasing a tree that will be sent to Linus is completely inacceptable. A quote from Linus: "And in general, you simply should never rebase commits that have already been publicized." Source: Linus Torvalds, Re: linux-next: Signed-off-by missing for commit in the drivers-x86 tree, linux-next mailing list, 2 August 2017 (https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg2571584.html). * Backmerging (merging a later rc into a maintainer tree) to pull in rc fixes from other maintainers is considered inacceptable too. If patches from other maintainers are really needed I think it is acceptable to merge a maintainer tree into Linus' tree and to apply late rc patches on top of that merged tree.
