How do I update maintainers about this new file ??.

It was noticed that modifying
*my %ignore_type = ();*
to
*my %ignore_type = (FILE_PATH_CHANGES);*
*
*
skipped generating this warning message.

How do I overcome this blocker??,Please advise.

Just use 'git send-email'.

Tom Rini  is the maintainer for 'THE REST'. Put him
on copy, please.
