Greg and Arnd are supporter of char and misc drivers. While using getmaintainer.pl on any patch or any file in these directories their names were never displayed. And for this reason quite a few patches for these char and misc have never been picked up as they never had Greg or Arnd in To or Cc.
Signed-off-by: Sudip Mukherjee <[email protected]> --- I personally faced this multiple times and faced again just now while sending another patch for misc. Greg can also confirm about the missing patches. But this maybe a problem with getmaintainer.pl file also. So adding Joe Perches to Cc list.
