Subject: linux-next: contacts for the gfs2 tree

Hi all,

I noticed commit

2e6ef8aaba6b ("Remove myself as maintainer of GFS2")

Currently I have

Steven Whitehouse <[email protected]>
Bob Peterson <[email protected]>

listed as the only contacts for the gfs2 tree.

Should I change that to

Andreas Gruenbacher <[email protected]>

or keep Steven (even though he is not listed in MAINTAINERS)? And should
I add the mailing list as well?

Cheers,

I think it would make sense to put me in instead of Bob. Steve hasn't
been working on the actual code for a while -- even though he remains
a valuable source of information for GFS2 -- so I don't think he will
object to being removed here.

For the time being, I will be the only person screwing up the upstream
gfs2 repository, so I'll also be the person to fix things up again. In
that context, would it make sense to add the gfs2 list? Is this what
you would commonly do?

Thanks,
Andreas

Yes, I'm not likely to be working on the code again, so it definitely
makes sense to remove me from that list,

Steve.
