There still needs to be a central "maintainer" of prism54, someone who
sends patches either directly to me, or via Jean to me (maintainer's
choice). Ideally, it is best to funnel patches from everybody through
driver-maintainer -> subsystem maintainer -> Marcelo|Andrew|Linus. That
only breaks down when the driver or subsystem maintainer is too slow,
and doesn't follow the "release early, release often" precept :) Open source is about lack of control, and trusting that community and consensus will produce superior software over the long run... but lack of control doesn't mean lack of organization :) Jeff |
