Wouldn't it be better to simply point to http://kernel.org/git for the list? And email addresses for people can be found in CREDITS & MAINTAINERS, why duplicate info here instead of pointing to those 2 canonical documents? -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
