I don't think it is.

My preference would be for something like:

        NETLABEL and CIPSO
        P:	Paul Moore
        M:	paul.moore@...com
        W:	http://netlabel.sf.net
        L:	netdev@...r.kernel.org
        S:	Maintained
        F:	Documentation/netlabel/
        F:	include/net/netlabel.h
        F:	net/netlabel/
        
        Labeled IPsec and SECMARK
        P:	Paul Moore
        M:	paul.moore@...com
        L:	netdev@...r.kernel.org
        S:	Supported
        F:	include/linux/netfilter/*SECMARK*
        F:	net/netfilter/*SECMARK*
        
I would like to add appropriate file patterns for each
block.  Also, I'm not sure of the Supported/Maintained
status of each block.

The distinction is supposed to be:

        Supported:	Someone is actually paid to look after this.
        Maintained:	Someone actually looks after it.

Could you please clarify those for me?

cheers, Joe
