The MAINTAINERS file format is weakly specified. I have a separate script that looks for patterns that have no file matches and sections that have no patterns. Any suggestions? btw: I did not do any patterns for ARM or PowerPC. Of course those could be added in the future. > I never have seen [patch 2/8] because the linux-foundation mail server > thinks it's spam. Actually, if the mail server is to be believed, the MAINTAINERS file already contains a SPAM URI and could be rejected if you sent it to yourself as-is.

Do you want me to wait for RC1 when most of the MAINTAINERS changes should be done or do you want it now?
