OK, thanks for the info. Good enough for now I guess.
Perhaps it might be nice to send out an acknowledgement ("your
registration has been received"), to
(a) avoid this question, and
(b) catch any technical errors (emails not delivered, ...)
But knowing that no response was expected already helps :)
Thanks,

Thanks very much for this > new process. I think it's a great change. Same here, I think this is excellent. I do think the big masses of contributors have fairly different pain points and issues from what makes maintainer's lifes hard, so for the imo very unlikely outcome that this will shift the TAB to be one-sided representing contributors only, no maintainers, we can easily fix that by formalizing a subset of the maintainer summit as a permanent thing. De facto this is how things work anyway, can't merge stuff without maintainers :-) Cheers, Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch
