Guys, be reasonable...

git log --author=Carpenter | \
	grep -A1 "Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>" | \
	grep -v Carpenter | grep Signed | cut -d '<' -f 1 | sort -u | wc -l

I have sent patches to 206 maintainers.  It doesn't scale for everyone
to have their own special document for sending patches.

I asked this last time, and I even skimmed your document, but how are
people supposed to go from linux-next to the correct bpf-next git tree?
It's a pain for me to do this for net, but net is way larger and busier
than any other tree.  I know it's a bit rude for me to say that you guys
are not as important as net, but that's how I feel.  I'm only going to
report bugs instead of writing patches if you guys are going to insist
on all sorts of new rules.
