FS-specific patches can go through the fs > maintainers independently. The maintainers (ext4/ext2/vfat) were also in the To: list. Trouble is, MAINTAINERS says this: MEMORY MANAGEMENT L: linux-mm@kvack.org W: http://www.linux-mm.org S: Maintained F: include/linux/mm.h F: mm/ There's a list, but no specific contact person. That's why I had to start asking around about who actually pushes mm changes to Linus. As for Al Viro, he's still listed as the VFS maintainer; isn't he resting? I guess he did nominate you for the holding off of morons (like me). :) --D -- 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/
