Reviewers are people who should be Cc'ed on all patches, as are Maintainers, so no, fundamentally they are treated the same by a Submitter. Here is some output for Maintainers/Reviews from get_maintainer.pl. $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f arch/arm/boot/dts/vf500.dtsi Shawn Guo <[email protected]> (maintainer:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE) Sascha Hauer <[email protected]> (maintainer:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE) Stefan Agner <[email protected]> (reviewer) Russell King <[email protected]> (maintainer:ARM PORT) [email protected] (moderated list:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE) [email protected] (open list:OPEN FIRMWARE AND FLATTENED DEVICE TREE BINDINGS) [email protected] (open list) I'm sure we can make the output even more similar by listing the MAINTAINERS tag after "reviewer" too. -- Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
