linux-kernel How to find the right person for help. Find the "likely" maintainers for the FTDI USB serial converter
Example
First, determine the source file for this particular driver.
Found it at drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c.
./scripts/get_maintainer.pl drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c
And the results:
Johan Hovold <[email protected]> (maintainer:USB SERIAL SUBSYSTEM)
Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> (supporter:USB SUBSYSTEM)
[email protected] (open list:USB SERIAL SUBSYSTEM)
[email protected] (open list)
Now we know who to ping for help with this particular driver, and which e-mail addresses should be CC'ed when submitting a patch against this driver.
