[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: make linux-mediatek list remarks consistent

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: make linux-mediatek list remarks consistent

[Lukas Bulwahn]

Commit 637cfacae96f ("PCI: mediatek: Add MediaTek PCIe host controller
support") does not mention that linux-mediatek@lists.infradead.org is
moderated for non-subscribers, but the other eight entries for
linux-mediatek@lists.infradead.org do.

Adjust this entry to be consistent with all others.

Signed-off-by: Lukas Bulwahn <lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com>
---
applies cleanly on v5.9-rc5 and next-20200911

Ryder, please ack.

Bjorn, Matthias, please pick this minor non-urgent clean-up patch.

This patch submission will also show me if linux-mediatek is moderated or
not. I have not subscribed to linux-mediatek and if it shows up quickly in
the archive, the list is probably not moderated; and if it takes longer, it
is moderated, and hence, validating the patch.

Okay, my patch showed up within seconds in the archive:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mediatek/20200914053110.23286-1-lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com/


I think the linux-mediatek list is actually NOT _moderated for 
non-subscribers_.

Please IGNORE this patch until someone can confirm if it is moderated or 
not. I will then send the patch that reflects the actual state.

Thanks, Lukas

Maybe rephrase the commit message to something like:
"Mark linux-mediatek@lists.infraded.org as moderated for the MediaTek PCIe host 
controller entry, as the list actually is moderated."

Anyway:

I can affirm the list is moderated :)

Hmm, do we mean the same "moderation" here?

I believe a mailing list with the remark "moderated for non-subscribers" 
means that a mail from an address that has not subscribed to the mailing 
list is put on hold and needs to be manually permitted to be seen on the 
mailing list.

Matthias, is that also your understanding of "moderated for 
non-subscribers" for your Reviewed-by tag?

I am not subscribed to linux-mediatek. When I sent an email to the list, 
it showed up really seconds later in the lore.kernel.org of the 
linux-mediatek public-inbox repository. So, either it was delivered 
quickly as it is not moderated or my check with lore.kernel.org is wrong, 
e.g., mails show up in the lore.kernel.org archive, even they were not
yet permitted on the actual list.

I'm the moderator and I get requests to moderate emails. I suppose I added you 
to the accepted list because of earlier emails you send.

Okay, then I guess my patch is actually VALID and can be applied.

Okay, I see. I did send some clean-up patch in the past, but I completely 
forgot that, but my mailbox did not forget. So, now it is clear to me why 
that mail showed up so quickly.

Thanks for the explanation.

Bjorn, with that confirmation and Reviewed-by from Matthias, could you 
please pick this patch?

AFAICT the linux-mediatek list isn't configured to automatically
moderate messages from non-subscribers. Its generic_nonmember_action
setting is 'Accept'. That is the default setting for lists on
infradead.org and I strongly encourage list maintainers to leave it
that way.

Lukas, I don't see your address in the allowlist either.

There are other reasons why some messages get might trapped for
moderation — the message size, number of recipients, spam score, etc.

The mere fact that *some* messages are moderated does not mean that the
list is "moderated for non-subscribers" in the sense that the
MAINTAINERS file lists.

I think we should be fixing the ones that *do* say it's moderated for
non-subscribers, not the one that correctly didn't :)

Well, I am happy to send any PATCH v2. I guess we, you, David, Matthias 
and I, now just need to determine if the list is moderated or not.

I will then adjust MAINTAINERS to the final conclusion.

It really isn't.

 # /usr/lib/mailman/bin/config_list -o- linux-mediatek | grep -B5 ^generic_nonmember_action
# legal values are:
#    0 = "Accept"
#    1 = "Hold"

David, I guess if you have access to the ground truth on 
lists.infradead.org, maybe you can dump the actual setting for all those 
lists?

They are all reporting different settings and linux-mediatek and 
linux-arm-kernel even inconsistently. The inconsistency and a poor attempt 
to resolve that is what started this discussion.

I can then send out the patch to adjust MAINTAINERS to your ground truth 
from the server.

Thanks for your support,

Lukas
