And you still have to figure out who owns which tree. That's not hard, but it's not scriptable. IMO, we should reserve 'M:' for maintainers with trees and use 'R:' driver maintainers. That's redefining M as "maintainer" rather than "mail patches to". You could still have both for a entry so you can know who to go bug when your patch hasn't been applied. Rob
