SG, I'll give folks a couple of days to object to this one, and it goes thru send a similar one for Bluetooth.

It seems that we mostly get netdev CCed on wireless patches which are written by people who don't know any better and CC everything that get_maintainers spits out. Rather than patches which indeed could benefit from general networking review. Marking them down in patchwork as Awaiting Upstream is a bit tedious. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> --- CC: kvalo@kernel.org CC: johannes@sipsolutions.net CC: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org Is this okay with everyone? It's not a big deal, but it really feels that for wireless we only get bot/autogenerated patches to netdev.. Here's the list of patches we marked as Awaiting Upstream: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?delegate=netdev¶m=-date&order=date&state=8 --- MAINTAINERS | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
