Hey everyone,
I have a very simple question: Why should I CC my patches to Kernel Janitors?
Isn't it the responsibility of the maintainer to correct and merge
patches? If so, what
value does it add to CC the KJML as well? Do you maintain another
branch that's merged
into the kernel at every release?
Please don't take this question the wrong way! I try to keep up with
the mailinglist
to learn and I think it's a vary valuable resource for people who are
learning, such as myself.
With kind regards,
Bas

It's maybe a good idea to do it for the first patch if you are not sure
it's correct. Julia and I do it because otherwise we were fixing the
same problems and maintainers were getting annoyed at the duplicates.

To review and merge patches, yes.

It's nice to see what other janitor-like work is doing.
