[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: list myself as maintainer for various Arm boards

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: list myself as maintainer for various Arm boards

[Peter Maydell]

In practice for most of the more-or-less orphan Arm board models,
I will review patches and put them in via the target-arm tree.
So list myself as an "Odd Fixes" status maintainer for them.

This commit downgrades these boards to "Odd Fixes":
 * Allwinner-A10
 * Exynos
 * Calxeda Highbank
 * Canon DIGIC
 * Musicpal
 * nSeries
 * Palm
 * PXA2xx

Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>

Thomas Huth sent a patch which only addressed collie, but
let's be consistent.

The set of downgrades to odd-fixes is based mostly on my
subjective impression of whether anybody has made any changes
to the board models over the last year or so, so it's quite
possible I've forgotten that one of them is in better shape
maintainer-activity-wise. If the maintainers for those boards
disagree (cc'd) I'm happy to re-upgrade them to Maintained.

Arguably it would be nice to have a letter prefix for "this
is the person who will deal with getting the patch into the
tree, but somebody else will be the primary maintainer for
patch review" -- that's the situation for the maintained/
active boards like ASpeed.

Note: both Xilinx boards are maintained and stay maintained, this is not

FWIW:

While you're at it, could you maybe also add an entry for the
"mcimx6ul-evk", "mcimx7d-sabre", "raspi2", "raspi3", "sabrelite",
"vexpress-a15", "vexpress-a9" and "virt" boards? Or shall I assemble a
patch?

These two and the Xilinx boards seem a little out of place in this
patch. I agree they probably aren't maintained as well as they should
be, but the patch talks about orphaned boards and these four all have
active QEMU maintainers listed.

Yeah, I was planning to improve the commit message,
something along the lines of an extra para:

"The Xilinx boards are maintained, but patches to
them go via the target-arm tree, so add myself as a
maintainer there too."

Really this is because we're overloading "maintainer"
to mean both "this person cares about and is the
primary reviewer and yes/no decision for them" and
also "this person is responsible for getting the
patches into the tree". Perhaps we should instead
define a new letter tag for the latter ?

What about changing the 'M:' tag description to the one you just suggested?

That would leave us without a tag for "this person is
the maintainer, they just don't deal with submitting
pull requests"...

What about adding a "P:" tag for pull request sender?

Don't all pull requests generally come from the relevant T: (tree)? We
could either extend that or just state the first M: in the list is the
person who owns the relevant tree.

What relevant tree? There isn't a T: tag for the target-arm
tree (it would not be of much use to quote a git url for
it in MAINTAINERS because I don't expect people to base
work on top of it or indeed generally push it publicly
until I'm doing a pull request from it). Also, a git URL
is not an email that can be cc'd on a patch submission
or ping...

I think the first M: should be the actual maintainer of
the code, personally.

Applied to target-arm.next for 3.1, with Philippe moved to
"R:" status from "M:" for Gumstix, and the following improved
commit message:

    MAINTAINERS: list myself as maintainer for various Arm boards

    In practice for most of the more-or-less orphan Arm board models,
    I will review patches and put them in via the target-arm tree.
    So list myself as an "Odd Fixes" status maintainer for them.

    This commit downgrades these boards to "Odd Fixes":
     * Allwinner-A10
     * Exynos
     * Calxeda Highbank
     * Canon DIGIC
     * Musicpal
     * nSeries
     * Palm
     * PXA2xx

    These boards were already "Odd Fixes":
     * Gumstix
     * i.MX31 (kzm)

    Philippe Mathieu-Daudé has requested to be moved to R:
    status for Gumstix now that I am listed as the M: contact.

    Some boards are maintained, but their patches still go
    via the target-arm tree, so add myself as a secondary
    maintainer contact for those:
     * Xilinx Zynq
     * Xilinx ZynqMP
     * STM32F205
     * Netduino 2
     * SmartFusion2
     * Mecraft M2S-FG484
     * ASPEED BMCs
     * NRF51


(We can think about the "tag for who to cc to get patches
into a pull request" idea separately I think.)
