For the panel conversion I did recently it was simple: 1) If listed in MAINTAINERS - use this info 2) Otherwise use the person(s) that authored the original .txt file. Using git log --follow foo.txt 3) In a few cases I may have decided otherwise, but the above covers the majority. I would also be great if you or someone else could: - teach get_maintainers about .yaml file listed maintainers - teach checkpatch that it is OK to convert .txt to .yaml - teach checkpatch about some simple yaml validation (maybe) I am looking forward to the day we have more .yaml files than .txt files in Documentation/devicetree/binding/* Sam _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
