Or use --interactive to figure out what's what when it doesn't give you an answer you like. > > > > get_maintainer's default output should answer the question "who do I > > email about this file", and that ain't working :( Complaints cheerfully ignored. Suggestions gratefully accepted. Files that haven't had changes in a long time generally aren't maintained. Old addresses frequently become stale and bounce. It'd be better if there was a MAINTAINERS entry for drivers/firmware/google. Far be it for me to volunteer someone to be a maintainer though. Something like: --- MAINTAINERS | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index 5c5d554..f4271d5 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -3802,6 +3802,11 @@ F: Documentation/isdn/README.gigaset F: drivers/isdn/gigaset/ F: include/uapi/linux/gigaset_dev.h +GOOGLE MEMORY CONSOLE +M: Mike Waychison <mi...@google.com> +S: Supported +F: drivers/firmware/google/ + GPIO SUBSYSTEM M: Linus Walleij <linus.wall...@linaro.org> M: Alexandre Courbot <gnu...@gmail.com> > > > > I also think it would be great if get_maintainer's output was friendlier > so that I can just copy a comma-separated line of "name <email>, name2 > <email2>" into my email client. That's what it was, then people complained about not knowing what the people did to the particular files being modified and the default became --rolestats. You can get that comma separated list by adding --norolestats --nomultiline -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
