[Yes, I am not Andrew. ;] Patches should be sent to a maintainer who is responsible for merging changes for the driver or $arch or subsystem. And they should also be Cc-ed to the appropriate mailing list(s) and source code author(s), usually [unless they are no longer active]. Some source files have author email addresses in them. Or in a kernel git tree, you can use "git log path/to/source/file.c" to see who has been making & merging patches to that file.c. Probably the easiest thing to do is run ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl and it will try to tell you who to send the patch to. HTH. -- ~Randy
