Intentional? Yes, intentional. They are other instances of qemu-devel@ or, for Gumstix, qemu-arm@. For some of them it may make sense to give them an M too, for stable versions we probably should drop them. > If yes, mention it in the commit message. It is mentioned. For gumstix, it says sub-community right after where you cut it. :) "The fallback now relies on finding a real person in MAINTAINERS, not just a mailing list for the relevant sub-community". For others, there's no reason why it should be different from the catch-all entry. > If no, the easiest fix is to give them an M, if we can find a willing > victim. > > Aside: we also have entries with neither L: nor M: > > Orphan: LSI53C895A, M68K, an5206, dummy_m68k, mcf5208 > > Odd. Not too odd considering they're Orphan. :) In fact the above entries could have their L removed too (apart from Gumstix again). Paolo

Yes, that sentence technically covers it, but I find the paragraph confusing all the same. Two ways to get my R-by: 1. Split the patch in two: part 1 is the get_maintainer.pl modification, part 2 is the MAINTAINERS update. Each part does just one thing then, which allows simple commit messages. That's what I'd do. 2. Keep the patch as is, but improve the commit message. Here's my try: MAINTAINERS: Fall back to git unless we have a human, add qemu-devel@ From: Stephen Warren <swarren@wwwdotorg.org> Add an entry to MAINTAINERS that matches every patch, and requests the user send patches to qemu-devel@nongnu.org. It's not 100% obvious to project newcomers that all patches should be sent there; get_maintainer.pl doesn't say so, and since it mentions other lists to CC, the wording "the list" from the SubmitAPatch wiki page can be taken to mean only those lists, not the main list too. The F: entries were taken from a similar entry in the Linux kernel. On its own, this would break fallback to git, because now every file has a maintainer of sorts. Modify get_maintainer.pl so that mailing lists (L: lines) no longer prevent the fallback, only humans (M: entries). This portion of the patch was suggested by pbonzini@redhat.com. Several pre-existing entries have a list but no human. These now fall back to git. That's a feature.
