Bearing in mind that quite often a patch sent to Linus for a given kernel
area gets given on to the maintainer of that part of the code anyway it
actually helps all around to go direct when you know where to aim patches
at. If you do - be aware one or two developers have moved on, or no longer
have time to work on Linux due to other commitments, most however do.

Linus: Do we need a /usr/src/linux/MAINTAINERS list ?
