Authors not wishing to receive mail can always remove their name or blackhole their mail address via the mailmap. I am not leaning strongly in favor of either way, but I am bothered a little by b4 nagging me about adding MAINTAINERS entry for device trees that I've added. It would be nice to have a guideline here. If the current guideline is not to add MAINTAINERS for device tree, then this patch that has generated no feedback so far could use some attention: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250113-b4-dts-mainainers-check-v1-1-794ed5749a94@pengutronix.de/ Cheers, Ahmad > -- Pengutronix e.K. | | Steuerwalder Str. 21 | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 |
