I have compiled the latest stable kernel version 5.13.2 with defconfig X86
architecture on ubuntu 20.04 vagrant VM.
The MAINTAINERS file can be divided into 3 sections to understand what it
is.
1.
The first section is providing instructions for people who want to
submit patches to the kernel. According to the instructions, thorough
testing of the patches should be done and all concerned people should be
CCed. Variable names and formatting should be according to the existing
coding style. There shouldn’t be any ambiguity as to who owns the patch
(employer or employee).
1.
The second section is a list of abbreviations used in the file. For
example, M for Maintainer, R for Reviewer, S for Status of the code, B for
the URI of the web page for bug-related things, F for file directory
pattern, L for the Mailing list, T for Tree type and location.
1.
The third section is the actual list of Maintainers of the different
parts of Kernel distinguished by their areas. This list should be in
Alphabetical order.
There were no Reviewers mentioned for the sections given in the mail,
Maintainers are mentioned below.
