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

...

 If a reviewer makes a suggestion and one intends on making the change  as suggested is it required (normal protocol) to reply stating that  the you understand their suggestion and intend on implementing it or  is this just noise. Should one simply re send the next version of the  patch?

 Continuing on this theme, should one add a Suggested-by: tag in the  previous situation. Some where Documentation/process it states that no  tag except the CC tag should be added without the authority of the  person being named?

 thanks,  Tobin.
