Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2020 14:19:24 +0300 Message-ID: <87d082jtfn.fsf@collabora.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello, I got confused while doing the txt -> yaml conversion at [1] and it's still not clear to me who should be added in the "maintainers" field. Clearly not the maintainers as returned by get_maintainer.pl. :) Rob mentioned that "owners" should be manintainers but I also have trouble picking the persons who should be owners / yaml maintainers. Looking at the completed bridge conversions in the latest linux-next, I couldn't find a rule and the majority of bindings are still txt: $ find ./devicetree/bindings/display/bridge/ -name *txt | wc -l 23 $ find ./devicetree/bindings/display/bridge/ -name *yaml | wc -l 5 So my questions are: 1. Is there a general rule for assigning yaml file owners/maintainers? 2. Is this vagueness specific to the bridge dt bindings only? 3. Who should step up and maintain these bindings? Original/new authors, SoC, bridge, DRM maintainers etc.? It would be useful to have a rule to make it easier to do these conversions. We (Collabora) are considering doing the conversion work. Thank you, Adrian [1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11493009/
