Actually, that's a bit misleading, since I had corrected that entry in the first patch itself, while adding myself as the maintainer. So there are still only 2 patches in this series right now. Thanks for pointing this out! I'll move the VMware list modifications out of the first patch, to avoid confusion. > Since the patches were still not merged, I would presume you should squash > the old 2/2 with this new patch and send v3 of these patches. > I'll send out a v3, and also add Zack Rusin as the maintainer for the vmmouse sub-driver, since it does not have a named maintainer at the moment (Zack indicated that he will be taking up the maintainership).
