Chris Mason is the > lead developer. Lest anyone stumbling across this in a google or the like think otherwise, it's probably worthwhile to pull this bit out in its own post. Chris Mason: btrfs lead dev. Chris Murphy: not a dev, just a btrfs tester/user and btrfs list regular. It's worth noting that this isn't a problem unique to this list or the Chris name. There are I think three "Linus" on LKML now, with at least Linus W noting in good humor at one point that his posts do tend to get noticed a bit more due to his first name, even if he's not /the/ Linus, Torvalds, that is. I've name-collided with other "John Duncan"s too. Which is one reason I've been a mononym "Duncan" for over a decade now. Strangely enough, I've had far fewer issues with Duncan as a mononym, than I did with "John Duncan". I guess at least the "Duncan" mononym is rarer than the "John Duncan" name. @ C. Murphy: Given the situation, you might consider a "not a dev, just a user" disclaimer in your sig... Or perhaps you'll find a Murphy mononym as useful as I have the Duncan mononym, altho I guess that has the Murphy's Law connotation, but that might have the effect of keeping the namespace even clearer (or not, I don't know), as well as making the mononym rather more memorable! -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
