[PATCH] docs: media: uvcvideo: Update mailing list address
Posted by Jonathan Neuschäfer 4 years, 3 months ago
The mailing list address for UVC development has changed a while ago,
but it was only updated in MAINTAINERS, not in the documentation.
Update it there, too.

Fixes: 616bd4e2573cb ("[media] MAINTAINERS: Update UVC driver's mailing list address")
Signed-off-by: Jonathan Neuschäfer <j.neuschaefer@gmx.net>

The ML is marked "subscribers-only" in MAINTAINERS. Perhaps it would
be useful to bring that up in the docs too.

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for the patch.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I didn't know we were still
referencing that old list.

How about moving to the linux-media@vger.kernel.org mailing list instead
? I don't see many reasons to treat this driver with a special mailing
list anymore.

Fine by me, but I'll wait for the opinion of others who more regularly
contribute to the media subsystem.

Being subscribed to the linux-uvc-devel list, and seeing that it's a
black hole where people post, and unfortunately get very little to no
response I certainly concur that it needs to be changed.

I don't think we can guarantee a better response with linux-media, but
at least it's the right place, where the driver is actually maintained.

So I also believe it should be moved to linux-media.
