"what's a subsystem"?
I'm not sure there is an appropriate definition.
If there is an appropriate definition, why
should anyone care what subsystem a particular
file is in?
Until I can pass a patch or source file as an argument to a script and get out
the URL of the git tree it needs to go into on the path to Linus's tree,
MAINTAINERS is inadequate. If I ask for the MAINTAINER info of
drivers/net/atl1/atl1_main.c, I should get back myself, my co-maintainer, our
sourceforge URL, our mailing list address, etc. There should also be a
mechanism, either as part of MAINTAINERS or something else, that will tell me
that atl1 is part of the netdev subsystem, which is discussed on
[email protected], maintained by Jeff Garzik, and has the appropriate URI
for the netdev GIT tree.
