Subject: [RFC] MAINTAINERS: direct process doc changes to a dedicated ML
Date: Wed, 10 May 2023 19:02:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230511020204.910178-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)

It's hard to keep track of changes to the process docs.
Subsystem maintainers should probably know what's going on,
to ensure reasonably uniform developer experience across
trees.

We also need a place where process discussions can be held
(i.e. designated mailing list which can be CCed on naturally
arising discussions). I'm using workflows@ in this RFC,
but a new list may be better.

No change to the patch flow intended.

I've been pondering the lack of cross-maintainer communication
as the kernel grows, and I hope this could help bring us together
a little. Plus twice over the last 2 weeks someone popped up on
netdev with what I personally considered incorrect interpretation
of the process docs, so it'd be nice to CC a list on my replies
so I can be corrected, in case I'm wrong.

Opinions more than welcome!
