Since this is my very first time stepping up as a kernel maintainer, I was hoping to get some pointers on what to do to make this happen.
So far, we have set up a new kernel tree and I have set up a local development and test environment for SH kernels using my SH7785LCR board as the target platform.
Do I just need to send a patch asking to change the corresponding entry in the MAINTAINERS file?
I'm not sure a there is a document, but:
- add the MAINTAINERS change to your tree
- ask Stephen to get your tree included in linux-next
And by "Stephen", Christoph means me. When you are ready, please send me a request to include your tree/branch in linux-next (usually the branch is called something like "for-next" or just "next") telling me the git URL, and the contacts I should send email to if there are conflicts/build issues with the branch. I will then fetch the branch every time I create a new linux-next release (most work days), so all you need to do is update that branch each time you are ready to publish more commits.
I'm in the MAINTAINERS now in Linus' tree. I have requested a kernel.org account now and will hopefully have my trees set up later this week.
I'll let you know about the URLs as soon as possible.
