While using getmaintainer.pl on any patch or any file in these directories their names were never displayed. And for this reason quite a few patches for these char and misc have never been picked up as they never had Greg or Arnd in To or Cc. Signed-off-by: Sudip Mukherjee --- I personally faced this multiple times and faced again just now while sending another patch for misc. Greg can also confirm about the missing patches. But this maybe a problem with getmaintainer.pl file also. So adding Joe Perches to Cc list.
