Hi Dexuan,

When sending patches upstream, please make sure you send them to all
maintainers and mailing lists that it needs to go to according to
MAINTAINERS/get_maintainers.py rather than cherry-picking names off the
list.

This is specially important in subsystems like x86 where it's a group
maintainers model, and it's very possible that Thomas is sipping
margaritas on a beach while one of the other x86 maintainers is covering
the tree.

This is quite easy with git-send-email and get_maintainers.py, something
like this:

	git send-email --cc-cmd="scripts/get_maintainer.pl --separator=, --no-rolestats" your-work.patch

Will do all of that automatically for you.
