   syoung: so when I receive a patch for rc-core, when should I reply with a Reviewed-by:/Acked-by: and when should I "take" the patch and merge into my tree? e.g. https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg117025.html
   mchehab: <u>syoung</u>: if you're picking it, you'll be adding SOB...
   <br> it someone else is picking a patch for RC, you'll be acking (for example, if it is part of a series that someone else will apply)
   <br> if the patch is not for RC, but you're reviewing, reviewed-by
   <br> you also may use reviewed-by for RC patches that others are taking
   <br> (although this is less used)
   syoung: so if the entire patch set is for rc-core, I'll be picking. If it a subset of the patch series, then someone else will be picking?
   <br> anyway, I think I get the picture. Thanks!
   mchehab: <u>syoung</u>: yes, that's the big picture
   <br> actually, if a patch touches on areas for different maintainers, you need to agree with the other maintainer about who will pick...
   <br> usually, the one who pics is the one from the area that have most code
