Create a maintainer team formed of the most active MTD contributors to help Brian with this task, which will hopefully improve the subsystem reactivity. Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon --- Hi all, I'm just trying to summarize what I understood the process would be, don't hesitate to correct me if I'm wrong. For each release we will assign a specific MTD maintainer which will be responsible for taking MTD core patches and pulling spi-nor and nand PRs into the MTD tree and eventually send one or several PRs to Linus. For fixes that are submitted after -rc1, I usually ask Brian to apply them directly into the MTD tree (I don't think there's a real need to prepare spi-nor and nand PRs for fixes), so we can proceed the same way: ask the maintainer assigned to this release to also take care of applying fixes and sending PRs to Linus before each -rc. If you have other ideas, or would like to proceed differently, don't hesitate propose them.
