Are you saying you treated MAINTAINER lines in the : # Makefile's as the official list, or /usr/src/MAINTAINERS as the official : # list? : : Official: /usr/src/MAINTAINERS : Inofficial: Makefiles with MAINTAINER= : : But the official file has at its bottom a list of inofficial Makefile : references. I'm trying to get down that list to zero entries, by telling : those folks to please make an official entry, removing their MAINTAINER= : line in foo/Makefile, and deleting their unofficial line in the official : file. This is exactly what dougb's text in /usr/src/MAINTAINERS says, : : Following are the entries from the Makefiles, and a few other sources. : Please remove stale entries from both their origin, and this file. : : Please also consider removing the lines from the files listed below and : stating your preferences here instead. : : Does that answer your question? The intent is to have one and only one : place to look for maintainership, (the top) of /usr/src/MAINTAINERS. : Ideally, there'd be no distinction bewteen top and bottom of : /usr/src/MAINTAINERS. I'm just trying to make happen what dougb added to : /usr/src/MAINTAINERS on 04-Jun-03. : : It appears though, just grepping Makefiles was too narrow a search, as : MAINTAINER= seems to also appear in c source and some other files. I'll : verify if I have removed someone unintentionally. Please do not make further commits of this nature to MAINTAINERS. I'd planned on *REMOVING* the lines that people didn't care enough to move :-(. This has made it harder. Warner
