One thing I think it'd be good to do is work out a sensible way of keeping the maintainers of the relevant subsystems in the loop on things - a combination of the mechanics and how much effort we want to put into making sure people have at least seen things. For example it looks like the regulator DocBook got converted to RST without me being aware of it (it seems I did get copied on one mail at some point but I can't have read it and there don't seem to have been any resends), that case isn't a problem itself but it seems like an area where things could end up not running smoothly. I know I rely fairly heavily on subject lines to filter what I'm looking at since some of my subsystems mean that I get copied on lots of random stuff that's of at most passing relevance to me which ends up being an issue with things like DT bindings sometimes (I think this is also part of what went wrong with the regulator conversion) but that doesn't scale since the subject lines can't easily be useful for multiple subsystems simultaneously. I'm not sure what else to do though, we basically only have the subject lines and CC lists to work with here. --iuakhqncj6idlb2l Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCAAdFiEEreZoqmdXGLWf4p/qJNaLcl1Uh9AFAllQ+9oACgkQJNaLcl1U h9DzPgf9FEfydp+rh5xvprRU7IT95CuTNgXabmNobpvRtdD/xW+PX0djiGgUQjG1 GBjqodS5hZAzkkk88PtVFDsH4dZNAXEO0oyfqI8CB8CohYJsP+VELS0UAK5NxCVv IPnKid9QrP9lXgop640S7nkR7NIercIj5D8NGu/ck0ldwh+Z2kTWAmmfmNZB9GqC etyxhNwTMJW1bxubT8r5yWE2bPJ6C/GrTv12oNrIWUoc+KZmg1F5JmveB7aKcZWe AtcjJldRnoCCV/+e5LnqmDq4NZtyLmnpesvS7h/YkYhzaarAGdVwlrZM25wJcSsc CI1p592BHX3xTCQcMN8ZNS3WBs2FZw== =aOB5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --iuakhqncj6idlb2l--
