      MAINTAINERS: Restore "L: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org" entries · 981c3a4f
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      

A couple of years ago all the "L: lkml" email list entries in
MAINTAINERS were removed and replaced with a 'the rest' entry
at the end of the file - under the theory that this is unnecessary
duplication and that people would find it intuitive:

  b5472cdd MAINTAINERS: remove L: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org from all but "THE REST"

So it turns out that it's all but intuitive, not all people
use scripts/get_maintainer.pl to extract maintainer contact info,
some people read the MAINTAINERS file and see the lack of 'L:' entries
of various lkml-only subsystems and are sending patches to the
maintainers only, without Cc:-ing lkml.  They arguably have a point.

In hindsight removing all the "L: lkml" entries was probably not
an overly good idea, not all mechanic duplication should be eliminated:
in files read by humans it's useful to have 'at a glance' summary for
all email addresses important to a subsystem's maintenance, in a single
place, without too many imported rules and assumptions.

So, to make the lkml fallback really apparent, add back 'L: lkml'
entries to all subsystem entries whose workflow I'm involved in.
This should at minimum be a per subsystem policy thing.

Jani for co-maintainer!

Jani has been a really active bug-scrubber in the past few months.
I've asked him whether he wants to do this in a more official capacity
and he agreed. I've already chatted with Dave and Jesse and they
support this.

Note that everyone can't now just relax because "Jani will do all the
bug scrubbing" - au contraire expect more nagging and poking now that
we have more bandwidth.

Longer-term the plan is to share more of the maintainer duties, but we
need to fix up the infrastructure a bit first (like moving the git
repo to a common location).

While at it also add the newly set-up patchwork instance.
