I thought the the same thing (that you never saw the first version) when I wrote the request-pull email and adjusted the text -- I wasn't aware the tag should have the same text as the mail but will pay attention to that in the future, it does make sense. For the background, I had used 9p-for-4.19 in a mail to v9fs-developer asking for testing earlier this week, it is still in the repo as another signed tag if you'd like to confirm. I removed the "MAINTAINERS patches" when Andrew picked them up shortly after the original mail and made the second tag back then. > And it comes from a github address, with a pgp key that I've not seen > before, and without me having been told about said maintainership > updates.

I agree on this point, and will have a different key with at least some kernel developers signatures for 4.20 (which will be confusing again as my key changes, but at least it shold have people you recognize). I cannot say anything other than "I was not sufficiently prepared" for 4.19 and used whatever key I normally use after checking on pathfinder that it was still "closeish" to you. On the maintainership update, while it wasn't direct I believe Andrew brought it up when adding me to the Cc of a 9p security report after you added the current maintainers recently -- but, well, yes, it's not like being told directly. He has the MAINTAINER file update and am sure will send it to you shortly so if preferable I can wait until he sends them to you and send this PR (with a better tag) again at this point? Thank you, -- Dominique Martinet
