In this particular case, using get_maintainers.pl or b4 > will result in patches not being picked up. I think get_maintainers.pl is correct: You get the driver maintainer, plus drm-misc maintainers as official fallback, plus Dave&me as fallback of last resorts. So all correct. What's special with the commit rights model is that other committers that work all over the subsystem can also pick up the patches for you, so that the drm-misc mainters don't become a bottleneck. But the ideal person there are drm-misc committers who work in your team or company, or someone else where you have some goodwill credits to spend with and ask them for a favour. And there's just no way to model that and make sure the script gives you the right suggestions. -Sima -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch
