That's not how most of maintainers expect. For give code, associated mailing list must be CC-ed, because the list is used for reviewing and testing code. Example are the Devicetree bindings patches, which are tested iff Devicetree mailing list is CC-ed. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski --- At least one person was arguing with me that CC-ing selective lists for his patch (e.g. skipping list X for code X) is okay, thus let's be more specific here. --- Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst | 19 ++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst b/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst index 12d58ddc2b8a..486875fd73c0 100644 --- a/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst +++ b/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst @@ -231,20 +231,17 @@ patch.
