I have no problem with the "L: list" entry. I think that's good. Along with some file matching pattern as well of course... I think the "P: Several" entry is not good. "Several" doesn't give any idea as to who actually does the work. If the "P:" entry is there at all, it should be the list name. Maybe "P: Linux PPC Development Team" or something similar. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
