Subject: [PATCH] Point out merged submodule maintainers as better addresses for patches
Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2007 23:12:20 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071227041220.GA22256@spearce.org> (raw)

Junio doesn't directly manage the git-gui or gitk-git subdirectories
within git.git; these are currently managed by other individuals
and then periodically merged to git.git.  Users often send patches
to Junio for these directories when they should be directed at the
current maintainer instead, so we should point out these special
cases in the SubmittingPatches documentation.

Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>

 Just a suggestion.  Might help people who are new to the Git
 community to get involved.
