The proposed entry type is somewhat redundant:
  - L: contains the development list of a subsystem.  Patchwork is fed
    from those lists.  Patchwork users look at the few known patchwork
    sites (the original one at ozlabs.org, the newer one at kernel.org)
    and see all the lists that are hosted there.
  - Projects with a web site, listed in their W: entry, almost certainly
    document there where their patchwork site is, if they use one.

Many lists are not using patchwork.

Micropatches to MAINTAINERS are preferred because of rate of change.

Thanks.  I think it should.

If Andrew accepts the series, I'll add a patch

All lists which do use patchwork are listed on patchwork.kernel.org and
patchwork.ozlabs.org.  So, add a paragraph on them in
Documentation/HOWTO and you are done.

The listings at patchwork.kernel.org and patchwork.ozlabs.org are always
current.  Your manual copy in the kernel source won't be.

See?  I just saved you and others quite some time.  You could spend it
for example to helpgetting our regressions count down.

Useless micropatches do _not_ make one look productive.

You could add that to the just proposed link list in HOWTO.

However, MAINTAINERS' MIPS entry links to http://www.linux-mips.org/
which in turn points MIPS platform developers to
http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/.  So that's already been taken care of.

www.google.com gives an easy interface to search for links.
How about we remove all other links in kernel sources?

www.google.com is a rather unreliable tool to obtain patch submission
addresses.  Hence the MAINTAINERS database.  This database is especially
useful to first-timers and to those who submit patches across the tree
or to subsystems with which they normally don't work with.

Patchwork listings OTOH are more interesting to those who work with
particular subsystems on a more regular basis.  Hence there is lesser
need to have the same kind of database for them as for the patch
submission addresses.

Nevertheless, rather exhaustive and always up-to-date listings of
patchwork links already exist at http://patchwork.kernel.org/ and
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/.  As was pointed out, one or another
subsystem may have a patchwork tracker on another site, but this alone
is not a reason to add and _maintain_ a huge list of patchwork links in
the MAINTAINERS file.

Your proposal to add those links into MAINTAINERS does not duplicate
Google, it duplicates the entry pages of http://patchwork.kernel.org/
and http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/.

And again, the W: entries in MAINTAINERS are an effective way to have
auxiliary information accessible from MAINTAINERS --- indirectly, but
tailored to the needs of each subsystem group, with the possibility to
add arbitrary depth of information, and potentially more up-to-date than
MAINTAINERS.

Exactly my point.

Removing links is not a good idea.
Redundancy is not a bad idea.
Asking people to perform unnecessary searches
is not a good idea.

When Stefan proposed a good patch to HOWTO, he failed
to notice the section immediately above his modification
includes git tree links which are also duplicated in
MAINTAINERS.  The duplication is fairly cost-free.

cheers, Joe

What do you know what I fail to notice and what not?

It has long been established that those links in HOWTO are superfluous
an can be removed.  It's easy, you can do it too.

[PATCH] HOWTO: Updates on subsystem trees, patchwork, -next (vs. -mm)

[Stefan Richter]

One of the roles which -mm fulfilled some time ago (to offer an
integration testing ground) has been taken over by -next.  This is still
news to Documentation/HOWTO, so mention it there.

Also add a word on how patchwork is used to track patches as they make
their way into subsystem trees.  Remove some arbitrary links to
subsystem repositories; they can all be found in the MAINTAINERS
database.

[PATCH update] HOWTO: Updates on subsystem trees, patchwork, -next (vs. -mm)

[Stefan Richter]

One of the roles which -mm fulfilled some time ago (to offer an
integration testing ground) has been taken over by -next.  This is still
news to Documentation/HOWTO, so mention it there.

Also add a word on how patchwork is used to track patches as they make
their way into subsystem trees.  Remove some arbitrary links to
subsystem repositories; they can all be found in the MAINTAINERS
database.

Note that -mm serves other purposes than just integration testing. I'm not
sure that nuking *all* reference to it is appropriate.

On the other hand, I think there's like 3 other guys besides myself that
actually test -mm kernels, so maybe the best bet is to see if it makes it
upstream via the -mm route. ;)

-mm had and still has other purposes than the one for which -next was
established.  There is mention of -mm in
Documentation/development-process/, but if desired, I could attempt a
brief explanation of -mm for HOWTO.
