150I like cycling, powerlifting, bad video games and metal.
Otherwise, I occupy my time with various bits in RISC-V land.

> I've been able to b.s. my way on to the MAINTAINERS list (as a reviewer :P) so might well go for a social.kernel.org account when that lands
On one hand, very little congestion for usernames etc & an admin you know. On the other, feelings of being an impostor ;)

Yet another evening staring at alternatives.
What an endless fountain of fun.

@Aissen @kernellogger The LTS kernels are not going away, please use them. It's just that you can not expect them to live for "forever".
The simplest solution is for you to demand support for your SoC and devices upstream, that gets rid of the issue of what kernel you are forced to use immediately. We did that decades ago for the "Enterprise" Linux market, and all of the problems of "we are stuck on this old kernel because the vendor never forward ported their code" instantly went away.

@ljs something like that, you got very good coverage across the various arch's, whoever is first to start work in the morning will find it.
I'm glad when someone else spots stuff, saves me bisecting, but in those case I knew who was to blame from reading on here over the last week ;)
I've had some really insidious stuff break in next that took months to get fixed, so this one should be a dream!

@ljs @broonie @monsieuricon There are a few options for send-email and format-patch that'd reduce some of the manual steps there (as well as things like the branch description that can store your cover) but the managed approach that b4 will give you is probably a order of magnitude easier to get right.

Sending out patches with internal reviewed by tags seems so meaningless to me.
I've never seen these people before, what do their tags mean?

Interesting post from @geerlingguy about the visionfive2, but also a bit of a reflection on the RISC-V software ecosystem in general.

@monsieuricon @ljs @monsieuricon working with gmail message-ids has a different problem. In my inbox, I get the message-id "CAK9=C2Uy_0B6D2TGq35sfrGkp9s1Td=cEsidzDPTDhG7Nq5EWw@mail.gmail.com" but the mbox file created by b4 is "CAK9_C2Uy_0B6D2TGq35sfrGkp9s1Td_cEsidzDPTDhG7Nq5EWw@mail.gmail.com.mbx".
Not a big deal, but frequently trips me up!

@ljs @monsieuricon Jokes aside, part of me really wants to submit patches as "Conchubhar O'Dubhlaigh" instead of "Conor Dooley" (both are acceptable under the former wording) but but it'd just cause confusion...

@monsieuricon Interesting post, thanks.
So, submitting a patch with "Signed-off-by: Eagle <eagle@small-medium-company.com>" wouldthen okay, as the IT dept. of small-medium-company could verify it.
Similarly, Marcan could verify that Lina is Lina if something came to pass there.
But $unknown-contributor submits something under their online alias should still be challenged?

Huh, probably wouldn't have known about this had it not appeared here:
https://social.treehouse.systems/@fox/109938758111808053
Certainly nice for the Lina's of the world, but I wonder how far "known identity" goes. "If I google it, I'll find them"?
