I think anyone should be able to supply a Reviewed-by: tag no matter who they are. Of course the weight that such a tag carries in the final decision of whether or not to merge may depend on who supplied it, but I don't think we should try to formalize that aspect. In other words, I would define Reviewed-by: as just "I have looked at this patch in depth." Jon's text seems like a really good summation of that idea in more explicit language. - R. - 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/
