V2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220928003006.230103-1-bryan.odonoghue@linaro.org/T/#u - Documentation/process Added in text to also make clear subsystem mailing list should be included - Krzysztof - Changed get_maintainer.pl to print maintainer[supporter] or maintainer[volunteer] depending on MAINTAINERS file. - Thorsten/Bryan - Choose supporter and volunteer instead of supported and volunteer Supporter and volunteer describe the role of the person whereas supported and volunteer would describe an activity and a role which isn't consistent. - Thorsten/Bryan - I didn't change Documentation/process/5.Posting.rst This file doesn't mention get_maintainer.pl and I was mostly aiming to fixup the process around get_maintainer.pl. - Thorsten - Myself and Thorsten discussed changing get_maintainer.pl, how it seems like a desirable thing to do but also that "it might break scripts for people" and it might. I don't know if get_maintainer.pl is or should be considered to be a stable interface and an explicit software contract but, making it clear a supporter is also a maintainer seems like the right thing to do from a transmission of information perspective. There is still the option of just updating Documentation/process in isolation. V1: - Sent a standalone change to Documentation/process stating get_maintainer.pl email addresses marked "supporter" should be included in a patch run.
