If you want to be the contact and update point for the driver it is a good idea to state this in the comments, and include an entry in MAINTAINERS for your driver."
I think we shouldn't list ourselves as maintainers because apart from SXGA there won't be much more to contribute and people submitting patches to this list may have to wait years until one of us answers. I don't know of anymore changes being necessary our planned. "prepare-fr- kernel" has been around quite some time now so I figure everyone is fine with this driver being submitted. Submitting prepare-for-kernel as a tarball seems wrong to me because it can't be build on its own. You need a full kernel-tree to compile it. git-pull-requests: http://github.com/guides/pull-requests example: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/11/326 GWater
