Hi Joe,


I ran checkpatch.pl against the following:
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1136334/


I did update MAINTAINERS, but I still get
"does MAINTAINERS need updating?" warning.
Why?


$ scripts/checkpatch.pl
0001-doc-move-namespaces.rst-out-of-kbuild-directory.patch
WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?
#18:
 Documentation/{kbuild => admin-guide}/namespaces.rst | 0

total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 14 lines checked

NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
      mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.

0001-doc-move-namespaces.rst-out-of-kbuild-directory.patch has style
problems, please review.

NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
      them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
