Right, I did not mean for this to come off in an accusatory way, so my apologies if it did. I merely wanted to codify this arrangement so that patches get picked up or acked by the correct people in the future since I had to send one earlier and I noticed it did not match reality (with the data to prove it heh). I hope it is fairly obvious that Kees has a good working relationship with you and the other security subsystem folks if one pays attention to the mailing list :) and for the record, even with this change, get_maintainer.pl still shows the security/ maintainers and list for this file, so you can still be kept in the loop if so desired. > I've happily merged KSPP related patches to those subsystems which I'm > tasked with looking after and I plan to continue to do so. Always happy to have as many KSPP allies as possible :) Cheers, Nathan
