For the rest, Julia's position is the more conservative one. I was in a conversation in RL and they were like, "CC everyone for all the patches". It depends on the context, of course. If the patches are dependent on each other then you *have* to CC everyone for everything. If we really have other clear rules, then it should be encoded into get_maintainer.pl so that it's automatic. My other question is why do the linux-arm-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx people feel like they need to be CC'd about every driver??? I always remove them from the CC list unless it's an arch/arm issue. regards, dan carpenter PS: Please, no more top posting.
