Hi Jeff. I think it's unwise to have 10 named maintainers for all the intel ethernet drivers if there are specialists maintainers. Maybe it'd be better to break out these sub-maintainers into specific driver sections with you as the overall maintainer. Maybe add an internal exploder to get all the various maintainers on a list if everyone really looks at all patches to intel drivers. Something like: INTEL ETHERNET DRIVERS M: Jeff Kirsher M: Intel Linux Support T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net.git T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net-next.git S: Supported F: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ INTEL ETHERNET E1000 DRIVER M: Tushar Dave S: Supported F: drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000/ F: Documentation/networking/e1000.txt etc...
