Thanks for your interest.

For the mentee selection, please work on the following exercise:

First, download the kernel git repository and compile the kernel with the x86-defconfig build configuration.

There is a file called MAINTAINERS in the root directory of the git repository. Read the introduction at the beginning of the MAINTAINERS file and understand the content in the file and its organisation.

Explain in your words: What is stored in the MAINTAINERS file?

Now, search for specific maintainer entries; Please answer: Who are the maintainers and reviewers of the following sections?

Please let me know about your answers and always send your responses to the linux-kernel-mentees mailing list.
