With precise > indication of those parts and your level of involvement: Um, isn't that what Vojtech said? You just converted his response into full sentances. But I'm curious why you want to sort the list of maintainers by the maintainer name. Isn't the format of the current MAINTAINERS file much nicer in that it's sorted by subsystem and driver type? For if you want to know who to send your USB Printer driver changes to, you just look that up, instead of having to search through your file, which is ordered in the other way. So in short, why are you trying to do this? thanks, greg k-h
