Yes (to P-N ratio). I'd really like to see netdev patches going to netdev (only :) and SCSI patches to linux-scsi (only), e.g., unless they actually address some linux-arch like issue(s). However, those maintainers are quite different regarding patch handling. Maybe you could try to address some of that at that Cambridge/September event. > So I'd suggest that you rework the text here to make it clearer that > patches should go to lkml _and_ to the subsystem-specific mailing list.
