Formally I am the stable tree maintainer, but just like for tools backports (which I have always been deferring to the tools maintainers, and IanJ has been taking care of those mostly), ARM backports have also mostly been taken care of by an ARM maintainer who is also committer (used to be IanC). I'd be glad if we could transition that arrangement onto your shoulders. Thanks, Jan ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel

That would be my preference, but I could take care of such if Stefano
can't (but of course provided with actual backports in case the original
patches don't apply cleanly).

For both of those please note that 4.4 is in security-only
maintenance mode, and hence shouldn't be getting non-security
backports anymore unless those are needed as a prereq.

I would be fine with doing that, but I am not sure who is responsible
for backporting commits to stable trees. Any committer can do that, or
do we have a set of stable maintainers?
