Subject: [PATCH] docs: escape ** glob pattern in MAINTAINERS descriptions
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:31:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409223135.10186-1-technoboy85@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Matteo Croce <teknoraver@meta.com>
Escape '**' in the MAINTAINERS descriptions section to prevent
reStructuredText from interpreting it as bold/strong inline markup,
which causes a warning when running 'make htmldocs'.
Fixes: 420849332f9f ("get_maintainer: add ** glob pattern support")
Signed-off-by: Matteo Croce <teknoraver@meta.com>
