Just to add two cents here, since this is sort of a open source
community driven thing, I think there should be multiple maintainers in
case of a disagreement.  2 is good, 3 is better so that it's impossible
to have a split disagreement and the third person can break the tie.

Github is cool as the e-mail based system is really, really bad.  But
if it is on github, I think it should have a neutral name not a
person's name and allow multiple people to merge in pulls. 

Unless of course, Eric wants to take 100% control of this whole thing.

The email-based "system" is standard Linux policy for patch review,
which has been established as a way of minimising the effort otherwise
required by reviewers.

If folk want to deal with stuff "internally" on github off-list, that's
fine, but in order to get patches upstreamed, the patches still need to
be posted to a public Linux mailing list for review purposes.

You can't get away from the "e-mail based system".  Sorry.

You may want to look at the file, and not the diff, which is already
listing 3 people.

Really not clear what point you are trying to make here, other than you
may not like how things are, but at some point, someone needs to merge
patches somewhere, in a repository that's convenient, only to have them
pulled by whoever is next up in the food chain. Where the code is really
does not matter much because: git is distributed, patches can be
collected from mailing-list archives.

I know the file still has 3 people.  Eric was just asking in another e-
mail about changing the maintainers.

I'm not 100% sure myself what the point is myself actually.:) 

But there is also no reason some inclined person couldn't flip things
around and make the linux root a topic branch in itself and merge it
into their own "version" of the kernel.  Then try to get the various
linux distributions to include that kernel as on option.  

That is what was essentially done with the Raspberry PI kernel to begin
with.  I'm not saying that's a better system or that I personally would
attempt to do that, just it's a is the picture right side up or upside
down thing.  It's arbitrary and just a matter of perspective.
