Right, and IMO it should be done something like the diff below. The T: should contain the URL and if it is not clear from the URL type, the *type* of the repository should be appended and not some commands like "hg" or "quilt" or whatever. Especially if those commands don't necessarily tell you what the repo is unless you know what the executables' names mean. --- diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index 7271b6189ccf..09a9c76ff83e 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -75,8 +75,8 @@ Descriptions of section entries: L: Mailing list that is relevant to this area W: Web-page with status/info Q: Patchwork web based patch tracking system site - T: SCM tree type and location. - Type is one of: git, hg, quilt, stgit, topgit + T: SCM tree type and location.
