the list was posted previously already and the public MAINTAINERS file provides a more complete superset for any nasty things but sure you have a point. In a open source project theres the tradeoff about openness though and many times the list of people having access to something is available to the public. > > I did not wanted to list all, just to confirm its me on that list. And you asked "do i have access?" ? or "Can you check now who have access?" I mean you know the admin can check that so the litteral form of the 2nd question makes no sense and a reply to that would not have even awnsered what you want to know. as in "yes i can check" doesnt tell you if you have access. I guess the conclusion is your questions are bizare and I should be more careful security wise. More carefullness about security can never hurt Thanks [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB "I am not trying to be anyone's saviour, I'm trying to think about the future and not be sad" - Elon Musk
