If people want to contact someone, go find the latest address there. > Yes, MAINTAINERS is the preferred location for maintainer info, but when there is no entry in maintainers (or when the person listed there is not responsive), many people (including me) use the names or email addresses listed in source files as people to contact. So it's nice when the email addresses are up to date. In my opinion the addresses should be working ones or not present at all (or at the very least there should be a note that the email address is outdated). -- Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@...il.com> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - 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/
