Obviously the next step beyond "has a kernel.org account" is "is listed in MAINTAINERS". All of these can be assumed to be real humans, too. However, that's still more restrictive than before, as it rules out people who are not maintainers. So next step would be developers/maintainers with an SoB. I think it's still safe to assume they are real humans, too. Add a minimum number of commits[*] to raise the bar a little bit, and avoid the whitespace-fixers who just want to vote. [*] And e.g. count commits more than one year ago half, more than N years ago 1/2^N. Perhaps add another penalty for staging cleanups ;-) Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert -- Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- geert@linux-m68k.org In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.
