Something like this?

This would indicate that people should CC me when they send patches or =
find bugs,=20
and that I should review the patch within a couple of weeks and get bac=
k to the
sender and the list with my comments, right? Just making sure I underst=

would be expected of me.

And where should the MAINTAINERS patch go - to netdev or to lkml?
