You should use `git send-email` to send the patch to all of the people listed by get_maintainer.pl: richard@desktop ~/devel/linux $ scripts/get_maintainer.pl --file drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_sas.c "James E.J. Bottomley" <JBottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:SCSI SUBSYSTEM) linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list:SCSI SUBSYSTEM) linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list) If I see that James E.J. Bottomley is already on CC for this discussion, but my recent (and first) experience submitting a patch for another subsystem was that they are ignored unless this strict procedure is followed. If the maintainer does not respond within a month after doing this, I suggest informing Linus Torvalds via email that the subsystem maintainer is non-responsive.
