+1 For such a small community I think it would be a mistake to have arbitrary quality or quantity thresholds for "who deserves to be on the list". I think you should list everyone. Even if they only sent a single patch to fix a typo in a comment. If they sent a patch, then it means they care about the code base and then they should be on the list. > But eh, I'm just one guy and and it's just my opinion :) Me too. > > How about we leave that decision with Chris Mason? > > Marc > -- > "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R. > Microsoft is to operating systems .... > .... what McDonalds is to gourmet > cooking > Home page: http://marc.merlins.org/ | PGP > 1024R/763BE901 > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in > the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
