Hello,
It seems to me that this part of Documentation/SubmittingPatches is
not actual nowadays:
After the list reached a consensus that it is a good idea to apply the
patch, re-send it with "To:" set to the maintainer{1} and "cc:" the
list{2} for inclusion.
>From what I observe in the mailing list, most patches are sent with
"To:" set to mailing list (or re-sent with increasing version) , as per
previous paragraph in the guidelines [1]. Then, after the topic is
reviewed and the [PATCH v<last>] series receives a thumbs up from a
number of people, the maintainer--Junio C Hamano--replies with an email
containing something along the lines of "This change is in good
shape. Thanks, will queue.", which makes me think that the re-send
is not actually needed.
Is this part of guidelines obsolete, or am I not understanding this
correctly?
[1] "Send your patch with "To:" set to the mailing list, with "cc:"
listing people who are involved in the area you are touching"
