Reviewers are people who should be Cc'ed on all patches, as are Maintainers, so no, fundamentally they are treated the same by a Submitter. Here is some output for Maintainers/Reviews from get_maintainer.pl. $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f arch/arm/boot/dts/vf500.dtsi Shawn Guo (maintainer:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE) Sascha Hauer (maintainer:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE) Stefan Agner (reviewer) Russell King (maintainer:ARM PORT) linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org (moderated list:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE) devicetree@vger.kernel.org (open list:OPEN FIRMWARE AND FLATTENED DEVICE TREE BINDINGS) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) I'm sure we can make the output even more similar by listing the MAINTAINERS tag after "reviewer" too. -- Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
