Naturally all the bugs related to this should be assigned to Nokia instead of Intel. So I fail to understand your argument about Intel doing all the work and all the kernel bugs being assigned to Intel.
I'm saying that Intel is currently the owner of the MeeGo kernel package, and that if you create a bug in the meego bugzilla against the kernel package, it gets automatically assigned to an Intel developer. Hopefully in the future there is a way to handle assigning arm-specific kernel bugs to a Nokia person, but I don't see that happening at the moment, do you?
In other words the point of the section in the README is to ensure that any patches entering must by From/Signed-Off-by/Acked-By bo whoever is going to end with responsibility of maintaining the patch?
In that case if we back the original mail of this thread, a simple change would be enough to make the README more neutral and clear. From:
* Unless the author identified in the From: tag has a @intel.com or @linux.intel.com address, the patch must include a Signed-off-by: or Acked-by: header which identifies the person in one of these domains who feels responsible for the patch inside the company. To: * Unless the author identified in the From: is the bugzilla assignee of the component affected by the patch, the patch must include a Signed-off-by: or Acked-by: header which identifies the person in bugzilla responsible for the patch in MeeGo. Or something similar. Riku _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
