DRM is a bit special in this regard compared to other kernel subsystems, as= DRM also allows non-maintainers to push to development trees. Yet, those develo= pment trees still need to be run by someone and those people are the tree maintai= ners. Additionally, there are people maintaining the individual components, drive= rs, etc. and those are usually the people with the strongest domain knowledge. Patches should be sent to both the tree maintainers and the component maintainers. > If not, is there a list I can reference to determine who the proper > maintainers I should be contacting are? Absolutely, everything is documented in the MAINTAINERS file in the kernel = tree. The best way to figure out who to send patches to is to use ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl. The script should provide you with the full li= st of all relevant maintainers and reviewers for your patch. Additionally, it also outputs people who have been involved in the correspo= nding component and may be worth Cc'ing as well. If you run it for your patch you should get the output below.
