Hi,

I've been working on a cleanup patch and have got it into a submittable state. To figure out whom to submit it too, I have run get_maintainers.pl script. My problem is that I get a list of 9 people excluding myself which appears and the public mailing lists.

My question is, is it actually necessary to send my patch to ALL of these people? Or should I go directly to Greg KH in this case being that he is the subsystem maintainer?

Thanks

It should go to all those who are marked as Maintainer , oddfixer and supporter. usually i do not include commit signer.

thanks
