My first reaction to this is, it's silly. Certainly a
|
||
|
|
subsystem-maintainer is capable of hacking something together that
|
||
|
|
suits his needs or may just use a good editor to get the job done.
|
||
|
|
After all, he might want to edit the commit message anyway. Also he has
|
||
|
|
to have his act together for all non-conforming submitters anyway,
|
||
|
|
because shurely, telling people to re-edit their patches subject line
|
||
|
|
is not what one would consider "welcoming to newbies", or whatever it
|
||
|
|
is kernel subsystem maintainers have to be nowadays *g*...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On second thought, if that facility existed, i think nobody would mind
|
||
|
|
it either. So, why not. I don't see a way to specify what to do with
|
||
|
|
cross-subsystem patches though.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(MAINTAINERS seems to be the logical place to put this
|
||
|
|
information.)
