After recent discussion on Linux development practices I think it may be
worthy to have list of lk maintainers. Unlike one included into kernel
source, this document is meant to be monthly (weekly?) mailed to lkml
and to be modified whenever new victim wishes to be listed in it
or someone can no longer devote his time to maintainer work.
This is a draft. I picked some names and addresses and made entried for them.
If you want to be in this list, mail me your corrected entry. Please indicate
what kind of reports you wish to receive and what kind of reports you DON'T
want to see.
I want these entries to sound like "Hey, I am working on these parts of the
kernel, if you have something, send it to me not to Linus". With precise
indication of those parts and your level of involvement:
If you don't want to be in this list, mail me too - I'll remove your entry.
Note that English isn't my native language, feel free to correct any mistakes.

* * * * DRAFT * * * *
So, you are new to Linux kernel hacking and want to submit a kernel bug
report but don't know how to do it and _where_ to report it?
Preparing bug report:
=====================
Oops: decode it with ksymoops
Unkillable process: Alt-SysRq-T and ksymoops relevant part
(yes it means you should have ksymoops installed and tested!)
Sending bug report/patch:
=========================
* It never hurts to send to Linux kernel mailing list.
* Some device drivers have active developers, try to contact them first
* Otherwise find a subsystem maintainer to which your report pertains
and send report to his address.
* Small fixes and device driver updates are best directed to subsystem
maintainers and "small bits" integrators.
* Do not send it to all addresses at once! This will annoy lots of people
and isn't useful at all.
* Do NOT send it to Linus.
* If your patch is something big and new, announce it on lkml and try
to attract testers. After it has been tested and discussed, you can
expect Linus to consider inclusion in mainline.
Note that this list is sorted in reversed date order, most recent entries
first. This means than entries at bottom can be outdated :-(
Current Linux kernel people
Linux kernel mailing list <[email protected]> [05 feb 2002]
Post anything related to Linux kernel here, but nothing else :-)
Richard Gooch <[email protected]> [5 feb 2002]
I maintain devfs. I want people to Cc: me when reporting devfs
problems, since I don't read all messages on linux-kernel.
Send devfs related patches to me directly, rather than
bypassing me and sending to Linus/Marcelo/Alan/Dave etc.
Andrew Morton <[email protected]> [05 feb 2002]
I'm receptive to any reproducible bug anywhere in the 2.4 kernel.
Specialising in ext2, ext3 and network drivers.
Not thinking about 2.5.x at this time.
Petr Vandrovec <[email protected]> [05 feb 2002]
ncpfs filesystem, matrox framebuffer driver, problems related
to VMware - in all of 2.2.x, 2.4.x and 2.5.x.
Reiserfs developers list <[email protected]> [05 feb 2002]
Send all reiserfs-related stuff here including but not limited to bug
reports, fixes, suggestions
Oleg Drokin <[email protected]> [05 feb 2002]
SA11x0 USB-ethernet and SA11x0 watchdog are mine
Vojtech Pavlik <[email protected]> [05 feb 2002]
Feel free to send me bug reports and patches to input device drivers
(drivers/input/*, drivers/char/joystick/*)
I also want to receive bug reports and patches for following
USB drivers: printer, acm, catc, hid*, usbmouse, usbkbd, wacom.
All other (not in the list) USB driver changes should go to USB
maintainer (hopefully there is one listed here :-).
Also CC me if you are posting VIA IDE driver related message
(although I am not IDE subsystem maintainer).
======= I am waiting confirmation from these people ========
Alan Cox <[email protected]> [5 feb 2002]
I am 2.2 maintainer.
I collect various bits and pieces for inclusion in 2.4
Alexander Viro <[email protected]> [5 feb 2002]
I am NOT a fs subsystem maintainer. But I won't kill
you if you send me some generic fs bug reports and (hopefully) patches
Andre Hedrick <[email protected]> [5 feb 2002]
I am IDE guy.
Andrea Arcangeli <[email protected]> [5 feb 2002]
Send VM related bug reports and patches to me
Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> [5 feb 2002]

Dave Jones <[email protected]> [5 feb 2002]
I collect various bits and pieces for inclusion in 2.5,
espesially small and trivial ones and driver updates. Do not bother
Linus with them. I'll feed them to Linus when (and if) they
are proved to be worthy.
David S. Miller <[email protected]> [5 feb 2002]

Eric S. Raymond <[email protected]> [5 feb 2002]

Keith Owens <[email protected]> [5 feb 2002]
ksymoops, kbuild, .. .. .. .. . are mine
Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> [5 feb 2002]
Do not send anything to me unless it is for 2.5, well tested,
discussed on lkml and is used by significant number of people.
In general it is a bad idea to send me small fixes and driver
updates, send them to subsystem maintainers and/or
"small stuff" integrator (currently Dave Jones, see his entry)
Sorry, I can't do everything.
Marcelo Tosatti <[email protected]> [5 feb 2002]
Do not send anything to me unless it is for 2.4 and well tested.
If you are sending me small fixes and driver updates, send

Correct. Don't forget Geert Uytterhoeven <[email protected]>. He also
is the maintainer of the framebuffer system plus a bunch of other things.
I also play around with the input layer.

Kernel.org sysadmin. Contact me if you notice something breaks, or if you
want a change make sure you give me at least 1-2 weeks...

I'm just filling in a couple blanks from memory. If someone else has better
information, use that instead.

hpa also maintains a handful of drivers/core code.
MAINTAINERS actually lists this, but I guess that would be too
obvious a place to look 8-)

Also bootloader, kernel init code, i386 feature code.

For kernel.org sysadmin stuff, contact <[email protected]>, not me
directly. I might be the ringleader, but I'm not the only actor, and
I'm *trying* to get rid of as much as possible :)

As well as the PCI Hotplug maintainer :)
But Denis, you never answered my previous questions about this list.
Are you going to?

Oh my! What questions? It seems we may have a mail transport problem...
Can you send me a test message?

Thanks. I'll use it but eventually I hope to hear from people directly
to avoid any possible misunderstanding.

Hi Denis,
I though I asked you to include me on that list.
Anyway here it is again.
