Subject: [PATCH v2] MAINTAINERS: Add "B:" preferred bug reporting method
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:10:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1453799451-19300-1-git-send-email-jani.nikula@intel.com> (raw)

Different subsystems and drivers have different preferred ways of
receiving bug reports; mailing list or bugzillas at various
locations. Add "B:" entry for specifying the preference to guide bug
reporters at the right location.
