J. Day" To: MTD mailing list Subject: how to pre-screen patch submissions from a newbie janitor? Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII List-Id: Linux MTD discussion mailing list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , not that long ago, i suggested cleaning up the MTD Kconfig/Makefile structure since there was some definite redundancy in the inclusion of source files and subdirectories. now, i could whip up those patches myself and submit them, but i have a local friend who's itching to get start doing some simple kernel work and submitting some patches, and he's more than smart enough to do what i described above. however, since he's new to patch creation and submission, i offered to "vet" his patches first. i realize that my vetting carries no weight on the MTD list, but given that i've submitted lots and lots of patches elsewhere, i can still at least sanity check what he comes up with before it hits the list. is there a canonical signage for that nowadays? is it "Reviewed-By" or something like that? so that by the time it gets to the MTD list, he would have done the "Signed-Off-By" and i'd sign off as a reviewer. is that the way it works? or is there an alternative? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
