V4L/DVB (10191a): Update MAINTAINERS entries on media drivers
This patch updates the MAINTAINERS entries for the media drivers.
We are doing a few changes during 2009 to improve patch handling for
drivers/media stuff.
Currently, v4l-dvb-maintainer list at linuxtv.org were used to to be v4l/dvb
driver maintainers ML, in order to keep track of patch merge requests and to
receive bug fixes. This list allows posting for everybody, but, in order to
avoid spam, the user subscribe/unsubscribe at the ML is moderated. Other
development discussions and end-user forums happened on two separated ML (one
for V4L and another for DVB).
At the beginning of 2009, we've created linux-media@vger.kernel.org, meaning to
be the main upstream development mailing list for drivers/media, including V4L
and DVB core and drivers.
The choice for vger.kernel.org were due to the fact that most of upstream lists
are there. Also, its anti-spam filtering rules are better than what we
currently have at linuxtv.org.
For now, both video4linux-list and linux-dvb ML will remain active, but more
focused on end users. It is expected that those lists will gradually be
replaced also by linux-media@vger.kernel.org.
This patch reflect those changes at linux MAINTAINERS file.
Since the development and bug fix discussions will now happen at
linux-media@vger.kernel.org, this patch does the following changes
- replaces v4l-dvb-maintainer ML for the new
linux-media@vger.kernel.org;
- replaces video4linux ML for the new linux-media@vger.kernel.org;
While here, it also:
- Fixes the existing -git tree entries for drivers/media (since the
repository name changed);
- Adds the missing drivers/media -git tree entry on a few maintainers
entries that don't point to a tree.
