Hello,

I think the list idea is no need for confusion, it is desirable to provide people with a new kernel newbies update to this list with a help and a quick solution to their problems.
This is like pre-kernel training.

TO and CC already come with the get_maintainer.pl script.

TO: Primary responsible
CC: development group + kernel mailing list
Kernelnewbies = kernelnewbies help

Regards,

Ozgur
