I see. It seems what you want is MODULE_MAINTAINER, as author is the author, who after some time, may not be the maintainer any more. There was some work by Joe Perches to list the files a maintainer is responsible for into the MAINTAINERS file. I think that would give you what you want, a way to automatically get the maintainer of a file. Joe, could you let us know the status of that work? -Geoff -- 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/
