I have come to know that Greg is one of the most liberal maintainers in this regard and accepts checkpatch related patches, but other than that, it seems to depend on maintainer's choice (which is fine IMHO). However, is there a place which documents which maintainers(and/or sub-systems) accept checkpatch(or other cleanup related) patches and who will reject them outright? Wouldn't it be good to have this documented, especially given that using the checkpatch is advised in Documentation/SubmitChecklist?
