[off-list ref]Please do not use generic aliases as they provide no personal responsibility. Just stick with real people.That makes sense. However, the pv-drivers list is used for keeping managers and people helping with testing in the loop. So would adding pv-drivers as a second L: entry be OK?Is it really a list? If not, then that would not make much sense.
It is - with VMware subscribers only but anyone can post to it. If the intent of the L: entries is to allow folks to subscribe to relevant information, then it isn’t appropriate. All existing vmw driver maintainer entries have pv-drivers as an M: entry, so has there been a change in policy regarding this? The approach has been quite useful for us. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
