Greg seems to rewrite patch subjects and is inconsistent about case, so he might be doing that by hand. > DaveM takes patches that say net: or netdev: or network: or NET: DaveM doesn't appear to be choosy about patch subject lines. He seems to take any sensible patch and as far as I know he doesn't edit the subject lines. He does reject inferior patches outright. > The sound maintainers take patches that say sound: or alsa: or ALSA: The sound maintainers seem to rewrite patch subjects on an ad-hoc basis.
