It shows a central MAINTAINERS file is the wrong approach; just that 500+ patches to the same file were needed shows that. The maintainer info should be in the source file itself! That's the only reasonable way to keep it updated; now I'm all for having it machine parsable so that tools can use it, but it still really should be in the code itself, not in some central file that will always just go out of data, and will be a huge source of needless patch conflicts. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
