And similarly, saying in a subsequent paragraph that you should always mail at last one public mailing list is unnecessarily disregarding information returned by get_maintainer. get_maintainer produces a list of text that is very helpful to a developer in deciding where to send a patch. Documenting that output directly is a help. But unless/until get_maintainer is _required_ to be run on any given patch, then we should still have a standalone paragraph which explicitly states a public mailing list must receive the patch. --- bod
