Valid question. I should have chosen some other more appropriate patch to make that comment. I don't see a better list for UBI patches, so lkml is OK IMO. Here is a summary of my thinking on Linux-related mailing lists. 1. Bug reports can go to lkml or focused mailing lists. 2. Development (like patches) should go to focused mailing lists if there is such a list and they have enough usage. Development areas that qualify for this IMO are: - ACPI - ATA - file systems - frame buffer - ieee1394 - MM/VM - multimedia - networking - PCI - power management, suspend/resume - SCSI - sound - USB - virtualization (not that I expect anything close to concensus on this) --- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code ***
