Subject: [PATCH 03/11] docs: kernel-docs: reflect that it is community-maintained
Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2022 14:25:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220704122537.3407-4-lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220704122537.3407-1-lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com>
Remove and rephrase statements that only make sense if a single author
exclusively would maintain this document, but we would really want to
consider this being a page maintained by the kernel community, as it is
placed in the kernel repository, and let us hope that more contributors
suggest some more documents.
Further, do some minor word-smithing.
