Sure, that sounds good to me. I also considered adding "(email alias)" like Juergen suggested, but I think the R: entry is clear enough. Please find the updated patch below. --- >From f66faa238facf504cfc66325912ce7af8cbf79ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Srivatsa S. Bhat (VMware)" <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2021 11:46:57 -0800 Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] MAINTAINERS: Mark VMware mailing list entries as email aliases VMware mailing lists in the MAINTAINERS file are private lists meant for VMware-internal review/notification for patches to the respective subsystems. Anyone can post to these addresses, but there is no public read access like open mailing lists, which makes them more like email aliases instead (to reach out to reviewers). So update all the VMware mailing list references in the MAINTAINERS file to mark them as such, using "R: [email protected]". Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.
