It's a hit-or-miss policy, some of us notice it, others do not. nothing official at all, just those of us with more experience know that aliases like this usually atrophy and become useless. There are many such examples of useless ones in the MAINTAINERS file right now :( thanks, greg k-h ___ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization

If the intent of the L: entries is to allow folks to subscribe to relevant information, then it isn’t appropriate. All existing vmw driver maintainer entries have pv-drivers as an M: entry, so has there been a change in policy regarding this? The approach has been quite useful for us. ___ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization

Just stick with real people. That makes sense. However, the pv-drivers list is used for keeping managers and people helping with testing in the loop. So would adding pv-drivers as a second L: entry be OK?
