Just stick with real people. That makes sense. However, the pv-drivers list is used for keeping managers and people helping with testing in the loop. So would adding pv-drivers as a second L: entry be OK?

If the intent of the L: entries is to allow folks to subscribe to relevant information, then it isn’t appropriate. All existing vmw driver maintainer entries have pv-drivers as an M: entry, so has there been a change in policy regarding this? The approach has been quite useful for us. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

It's a hit-or-miss policy, some of us notice it, others do not. nothing official at all, just those of us with more experience know that aliases like this usually atrophy and become useless. There are many such examples of useless ones in the MAINTAINERS file right now :( thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread
