Re: [PATCH] VMW_PVSCSI: Change to update maintainer details (name, email)

2016-06-17 Thread Jim Gill
I don’t yet know enough to comment on the relocation of vmw_pvscsi into a new vmware folder. I was considering offering a new patch that removed the “maintained by” from the two source files and updated MAINTAINERS, but I’m happy to defer to people with more experience. I’m fine either way. On
