Contacting developers/maintainers should always be done on the latest kernel release, not on older stable kernels as fixes need to ALWAYS be done on Linus's tree first. Please don't force us to attempt to keep MAINTAINERS changes in sync in stable kernel trees, that way lies madness and even more patches that you would be forcing me to handle :) thanks, greg k-h
