I prefer to leverage the edk2-devel list but use the alternate name field in the Cc. I've seen another project use the main email list address, but alter the name to ping stable branches. So, for example, we could also consider: Cc: UDK2014.SP1 <edk2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> These can still be searched for, but don't require the hassle of a separate email list. :) > > Anyway, I don't really support this build flag change, but I suppose > > it could be acceptable for RELEASE builds. > > I think Ard abandoned the idea on seeing Olivier's followup, and I did > the same when I saw Bill's answer. > > Your idea about streamlining the current fixup process is a good one; > let's adopt it. Does it need to be codified somewhere (Maintainers.txt, > Contributions.txt, ...)? I would say Maintainers.txt since it documents email addresses. However, it might also want to list to a web page that explains it in more detail. I think we should hold off on it until we move to the new email list, but maybe we can figure out a plan that sounds reasonable now. -Jordan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
