Hi All, apparently the contrib/check-MAINTAINERS.py script requires that surnames in the MAINTAINERS file are ordered in a way that any uppercase letter < any lowercase letter. Do we want that?
If we do require that, then we have to move Somya AR's name to the start of the Write After Approval section like this: + Soumya AR soumyaa <[email protected]> Mark G. Adams mgadams <[email protected]> Ajit Kumar Agarwal aagarwa <[email protected]> Pedro Alves palves <[email protected]> John David Anglin danglin <[email protected]> Harald Anlauf anlauf <[email protected]> - Soumya AR soumyaa <[email protected]> Paul-Antoine Arras parras <[email protected]> But that seems kind of weird -- at least to me. So I tried seeing what would happen if we treated uppercase/lowercase variants of the same letter as being equal in the ordering Venkataramanan Kumar vekumar <[email protected]> Maxim Kuvyrkov mkuvyrkov <[email protected]> Doug Kwan dougkwan <[email protected]> - Aaron W. LaFramboise - <[email protected]> Scott Robert Ladd - <[email protected]> Razya Ladelsky razya <[email protected]> Thierry Lafage tlafage <[email protected]> + Aaron W. LaFramboise - <[email protected]> Rask Ingemann Lambertsen rask <[email protected]> Jerome Lambourg - <[email protected]> Tim Lange tlange <[email protected]> Bin Bin Lv shlb <[email protected]> Christophe Lyon clyon <[email protected]> Jun Ma junma <[email protected]> + Luis Machado luisgpm <[email protected]> Andrew MacLeod - <[email protected]> - Luis Machado luisgpm <[email protected]> Ziga Mahkovec ziga <[email protected]> Vladimir Makarov vmakarov <[email protected]> David Malcolm dmalcolm <[email protected]> Matthew Malcomson matmal01 <[email protected]> Mikhail Maltsev miyuki <[email protected]> Apparently, that would also require moving some names around. Does anyone have any opinion on this? Does anything other than the script say how the names should be ordered? Can I just go with the second version? Cheers, Filip Kastl
