I think a lot of those driver MAINTAINERS entries are maybe a little useful when the driver is just written but are progressively less useful after a few months. I once wrote a little script to look at whether or not each listed maintainer had signed-off on a patch to a listed file block for whatever time frame. Most had not. I'd rather people put their names in CREDITS than MAINTAINERS if they want posterity entries. > In my opinion, it should only be there if it is clear > that it's not just a short project work. I mostly agree with that, but sometimes it's useful when the implementation is a bit complex and the original author may still have some memory of the complexity. Anyway, I'm not resubmitting that patch. If you want to remove yourself from whatever entry, please do. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
