Writing code and making patches are what counts. Maintainership is traditionally granted based on merit. Merit is traditionally calculated based on code submission. So raise your hand if you've written code, you tested it out, you submitted the patch to the devel list and the maintainer, it works, but it got 'shot down' by the current maintainer. Anybody? In the last few weeks I've seen way more noise-to-signal ratio than actual code discussions on reiserfs-devel. By code discussions, I mean a technical discussion of a merit of a given algorithm or approach to solving a problem. Even better are actual discussions of a given patch. What we've been having is a meta-discussion about a project, and a different meta-discussion about what to call a project, and now I don't even know what to call this suggestion to replace a maintainer who does indeed write code. I vote negative one for changing maintainers. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe reiserfs-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
