I'd wondered what still blocked that effort. Checking "git blame" doesn't seem sufficient; I think you really want to contact anyone who has a commit in the git log. Try "git shortlog -se". Who appears on the latter list and not your list from "git blame"? > I havent' been able to reach these two people: > Luc Van Oostenryck <luc.vanoostenryck@xxxxxxxxxx> (279 lines) > Richard Knutsson <ricknu-0@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (21 lines) > > Does anyone know how I can reach them? Are they on this list? Richard Knutsson worked on Sparse for Google Summer of Code in 2007. Thus, the SoC admins might still have full contact information for him, not just an email address. You could ask the SoC admins if they'd be willing to contact Richard privately on your behalf. (I think they'd want to avoid sharing the non-email contact information directly for privacy reasons, but they might consider making the contact for you.) For Luc Van Oostenryck, a quick check shows that looxix.net existed from 2005 until it expired just a couple of months ago; odd timing. - Josh Triplett -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sparse" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
