Yeah. Depending on the purpose of the list, I would probably _not_ put the SFC. They help manage the legal and financial aspects of the git project, but they have nothing at all to do with the code itself. I would hate for them to get a phone call about support. :) Probably "The Git Community" or "git@vger.kernel.org" is the best thing to fill in if you need to write something in a form. If there ends up being some specific reason for a vendor to be contacted, folks on the list will be able to point an inquiry in the right direction (which might even end up being the SFC). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
