This means that these +people have to be consulted before doing any change in the parts they maintain, +including when fixing bugs. These persons are allowed to reject any change on +the parts they maintain, and in parallel they try their best to ensure these +parts work well. Similarly, any change to these parts not being validated by +them will be rejected. + +The best way to deal with such subsystems when sending patches is to send the +patches to the mailing list and to CC these people. When no maintainer is +listed for a subsystem, you can simply send your changes the usual way, and it +is also a sign that if you want to strengthen your skills on certain parts you +can become yourself a maintainer of the parts you care a lot about. + +Please do not ask them to troubleshoot your bugs, it's not their job eventhough +they may occasionally help as time permits. + +List of maintainers +------------------- + +Lua +Maintainer: Thierry Fournier +Files: src/hlua.c, include/*/hlua.h + +DNS +Maintainer: Baptiste Assmann +Files: src/dns.c, include/*/dns.h + +SSL +Maintainer: Emeric Brun +Files: src/ssl_sock.c, include/*/ssl_sock.h + +PEERS +Maintainer: Emeric Brun +Files: src/peers.c, include/*/peers.h +
