Three people are listed for parisc-linux in MAINTAINERS. My understanding was Kyle would integrate and push patches. Willy and I would help by reviewing code, testing and misc crap. I asked if I should ACK parisc specific patches and was told in general I didn't need to. I will start sending "Reviewed By:" when I feel I understand what a patch fixes and that it's correct (even if not perfect). > > I've tried to push it upstream a few times... > > OK, well I'll merge it next week unless someone stops me. I won't stop you. :) Based on this posting: http://marc.info/?l=linux-parisc&m=122726233324164&w=2 you can add: Review-by: Randolph Chung I trust Randolph - he used to have commit access to the parisc-linux.org CVS tree when we still used one. And Helge has been great about fixing stuff - much better than the three listed maintainers lately. Kyle, willy, any objection to adding Helge to the MAINTAINERS list for PARISC port? I'd rather allow Helge to make a few small mistakes occasionally rather than watch his parisc specific patches fall on the floor. thanks, grant
