Subject: [patch] MAINTAINERS: trim the file triggers for ABI/API
Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2016 15:05:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <56B35A9F.1080303@gmail.com> (raw)

Josh Tripplett's commit ea8f8fc8631d9f890580a94d57a18bfeb827fa2e
was well intentioned (I even Acked it), but in practice it has mostly
generated (a lot of) useless noise on linux-api as developers of
drivers and implementers of other uninteresting changes run
scripts/get-maintainers.pl and unthinkingly paste the results
into their email clients. And that commit didn't really
help catch the really important API changes (new system calls,
new options to existing system calls, new pseudofile entries,
and so on). So, trim the 'F:' triggers for the "ABI/API" entry
in MAINTAINERS right back to the minimum.
