Why should we codify our conventions in MAINTAINERS to accommodate the
|
|
specific problem of virtually a _single_ patch author?
|
|
|
|
Conventions are living and are being adjusted all the time, as code
|
|
organization changes, people join and go, projects start and cease.
|
|
|
|
Said author please looks the conventions up in the git history. If he
|
|
finds that this decelerates his patch generation rate, he can surely
|
|
code a script that looks into git for him and suggests plausible
|
|
prefixes for his patch titles to him. Or he can collect a kind of
|
|
database (a config file) locally for his own use in which he records
|
|
conventional prefixes on the go.
