Anyway here it is again. Maksim Krasnyanskiy 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".
