This is especially I do this, too. I also ask people from the same company as the patch author to jump in. > nice with drivers as I can quickly see (by intuition) whether > they are doing some general cleanup or actually are running > and testing the hardware, even if they didn't sign up as > maintainers.

Some are really active which is nice, some disappear again which is sad but not too surprising. Yet, for every active new maintainer, I have to check how they review. This is what I mean with "trust matrix getting complex". Lots of new maintainers where I need to build some trust relationship. Maybe it is just a workflow thing, yet I feel I need some kind of tracking to do this. And other stuff I mentioned in my initial mail, especially a short summary of the review and a higher awareness that reviews can be constructively criticized. --LZvS9be/3tNcYl/X Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEOZGx6rniZ1Gk92RdFA3kzBSgKbYFAl0vT40ACgkQFA3kzBSg KbbCLQ//V84Aend7qWxbFNf/JA99YKshi8bGamkUE46aeulbCS3GPxNCT1RZjjWm qdgSnNEhN0p/ggpxy5ymtnHyMUBZ5uahujRqRsUcPzeZ9mIdq77UqEB+MOsMvNZR vCPs+8/VsN9U3j1bKZgyVE/TCJoOhYgDDYqtIv9wp775CLmsQsMrZsk1rTtRbuDd HtHD3t8gA1FF+SaVWHejNVXmEUEB8uUnV+8V+8KbWZoL5cXq6Uto5TBlmQf9DkWI sCh8TFDrVKfHbRbAtWgW4yYAfTbzw+XZYTxzDS6Uw/f3YH3YwlHFBWXwPWrXt0xq ozs6mttFmBp7/XQYnpTcsYRPCu8W0kPMfiaoLJFg+PRpGShSOaVo1BZ18w3KQPKV MjfCEpHswN/PIFHT4tT1v6Y+8v1V3aMnGSnnJe3Sfn8VolnbmIUcuiOnKvCA9Jxc +HzGWZCc86hBl5Ey4bfcEa6WFzM5YAfQrZzXrf9yN/hHKlRe4absvkAy4tSf7uYA RlRtVDedwwrj38xsxARvcFQ+QqcLz8PKZBGfCTa/jH+D2cIzaCjikCTMPUykzGLY 8FTV6Ly8wSpxNrjd3Msmpg70dGaRcp/qIQDjoPD2AHG5NAubNa+Hkvdhqm2gZ/3P 1bzVSh361jAqrmohG/qPiwhcEv4EniLYjWoJumcsTD5rTiLnbA4= =nycg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --LZvS9be/3tNcYl/X--
