Any reason to leave out the maintainers email addresses? If we add that, all the content of the MAINTAINERS file we had been discussing would then be in this file. My only other suggestion for this series might be to augment the file with a patch submittal example(s). I found the best example to be in git-send-email's man page, but maybe enumerate the example out for the most common workflows. Maybe something like: ----------------------------------------------------------- Example of sending patches for a new feature: Create the patches: $ git format-patch --cover-letter -M origin/master -o outgoing/ $ edit outgoing/0000-* To send your completed patches for initial consideration: $ git send-email outgoing/* -to git@vger.kernel.org -cc gits...@pobox.com To send your reviewed patches for inclusion: $ git send-email outgoing/* -to gits...@pobox.com -cc git@vger.kernel.org -Jason -- 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
