Hi All, apparently the contrib/check-MAINTAINERS.py script requires that surnames in the MAINTAINERS file are ordered in a way that any uppercase letter < any lowercase letter. Do we want that?
If we do require that, then we have to move Somya AR's name to the start of the Write After Approval section like this: + Soumya AR soumyaa <soum...@nvidia.com> Mark G. Adams mgadams <mark.g.ad...@sympatico.ca> Ajit Kumar Agarwal aagarwa <aagar...@linux.ibm.com> Pedro Alves palves <pal...@redhat.com> John David Anglin danglin <dave.ang...@bell.net> Harald Anlauf anlauf <anl...@gmx.de> - Soumya AR soumyaa <soum...@nvidia.com> Paul-Antoine Arras parras <par...@baylibre.com> But that seems kind of weird -- at least to me. So I tried seeing what would happen if we treated uppercase/lowercase variants of the same letter as being equal in the ordering Venkataramanan Kumar vekumar <venkataramanan.ku...@amd.com> Maxim Kuvyrkov mkuvyrkov <maxim.kuvyr...@linaro.org> Doug Kwan dougkwan <dougk...@google.com> - Aaron W. LaFramboise - <aaronava...@aaronwl.com> Scott Robert Ladd - <scott.l...@coyotegulch.com> Razya Ladelsky razya <ra...@gcc.gnu.org> Thierry Lafage tlafage <thierry.laf...@inria.fr> + Aaron W. LaFramboise - <aaronava...@aaronwl.com> Rask Ingemann Lambertsen rask <ccc94...@vip.cybercity.dk> Jerome Lambourg - <lambo...@adacore.com> Tim Lange tlange <m...@tim-lange.me> Bin Bin Lv shlb <s...@linux.ibm.com> Christophe Lyon clyon <christophe.l...@arm.com> Jun Ma junma <ju...@linux.alibaba.com> + Luis Machado luisgpm <luis...@br.ibm.com> Andrew MacLeod - <amacl...@redhat.com> - Luis Machado luisgpm <luis...@br.ibm.com> Ziga Mahkovec ziga <ziga.mahko...@klika.si> Vladimir Makarov vmakarov <vmaka...@redhat.com> David Malcolm dmalcolm <dmalc...@redhat.com> Matthew Malcomson matmal01 <mmalcom...@nvidia.com> Mikhail Maltsev miyuki <malts...@gmail.com> Apparently, that would also require moving some names around. Does anyone have any opinion on this? Does anything other than the script say how the names should be ordered? Can I just go with the second version? Cheers, Filip Kastl
