Message-ID: <4509AA10.4050907@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 13:14:24 -0600 From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@...il.com> To: Linux kernel <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [RFC patch] MAINTAINERS: encourage testers to volunteer Add a new entry-type into MAINTAINERS whereby folks with hardware can volunteer to test patches to the driver. It should encourage folks to put themselves "on the hook" in trade for a little bit of notoriety. Hopefully this will help improve: - support for rare hardware - QA on that hardware - connections between hackers & testers - would-be hackers can find new things to do, esp in less visited parts of the dist. Additions should be approved by maintainers etc, but thats no different than is currently done. --- doc-touches/MAINTAINERS~ 2006-09-14 11:50:03.000000000 -0600 +++ doc-touches/MAINTAINERS 2006-09-14 12:19:13.000000000 -0600 @@ -80,6 +80,12 @@ it has been replaced by a better system and you should be using that. +V: Validation/Test contact and hardware they can test. + + Identifies folks who are willing to test driver patches, etc. + Also can identify lack of hardware for otherwize maintained drivers + by using 'none' + 3C359 NETWORK DRIVER P: Mike Phillips M: mikep@...uxtr.net - 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/
