Instead of the indenting. Maybe. As a preface: I doubt the need for associating a subset of the files patterns for a subsystem with a particular reviewer. If a reviewer is interested enough in a subsystem to volunteer to read patches then that reviewer likely won't be overburdened by getting a few more emailed patches that may be outside a scope of interest. To answer the question: If it's done, there needs to be some mechanism to associate a particular reviewer and the files. Ordering of "letter:" types in MAINTAINERS is currently unstructured. Given a desire to have more than one reviewer interested in different files, any subset use will either impose some ordering requirement on the file list or some association with the reviewer and the reviewer's file patterns of interest. -- 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/
