1. Following the clocksource/timekeeping and POSIX timer areas, this RFC routes
changes for drivers/ptp/emulated/ to linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (rather than
netdev). However, the preferred integration path is still unclear (e.g. which
tree should take such changes, and who should collect/pull them for merging). We
would really appreciate guidance from the time/clock maintainers, especially any
input from Thomas Gleixner, on the preferred tree/workflow for these changes.
2. This RFC currently lists us as the maintainers for drivers/ptp/emulated/ as a
fallback contact point. Ideally, we would prefer this area to be maintained by
clock/time experts in the long run. Suggestions on more suitable maintainers are
very welcome.
I'm happy to be involved too.
Thanks, David. It would be great to have you involved. Would you be willing to
be listed in MAINTAINERS for drivers/ptp/emulated/?
Hi David,
Just following up in case this got lost in the thread.
You mentioned earlier that you'd be happy to be involved, so I wanted to
check whether you'd be comfortable being listed as a co-maintainer.
Thanks!
Regards.
