They are; it's just that get_maintainer.pl has silly defaults. There's no reason it should include the full chain from the leaf driver to the subsystem to the LKML by default, with a bunch of authors and commit signers on top. Especially so for supported drivers. I'm surprised it doesn't include Linus by default. > Also, since no one reads lkml, does it hurt to have even trivial patches? Heh. Let's just say I care more about dri-devel. BR, Jani. -- Jani Nikula, Intel Open Source Technology Center
