To explain, there's a time-limit on how far git history is considered, and so your last change to the file in question pushed you off of the list of recipients. To answer a possible follow-up question from you, I've gotten complaints from contributors previously about being cc'd on patches for something they did a long time ago. The answer is that you need an entry in the MAINTAINERS file somewhere to match on a given file patterns to always be considered for a patch. I *think* MAINTAINERS files in drivers/ would work with get_maintainers.pl and we just don't have any yet. -- Tom
