I've only manged to get this sorted recently (last autumn or > so), but it's finally done. This is helpful. Thanks for doing the work required to make this happen. It's still infinitely more convenient to have the full set in my inbox available for review. As someone who works cross- subsystem a lot, I can tell you that it works well in the vast majority of cases. Maybe just add the listed (in 'MAINTAINERS') maintainers and possibly the reviewers. Obviously all of the secondary interested parties that get_maintainer.pl recommends should be omitted. > > > I have had trouble in the past with my email provider dropping parts of > > > a series when I had to many recipients. > > > > Without visibility into the other patches in the set, things become > > more difficult. Maybe use a different/better email provider. -- Lee Jones [李琼斯] Linaro Services Technical Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
