If they're not maintaining the code then are they really the >maintainers of it? Maintainers maintain code. From own experience - I too have some projects that are *only* "maintained" - that includes maintaining the status quo, keeping it compiling and taking patches that require no more than 5 minutes to think about. To support users, especially ones with fire-and-forget submissions, an "integrator" (for the lack of a better word for cleaning guy) or "developer" to take up their posting is required. But it often lacks one or more. -- 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/
