Thanks for your reply Joe,

In the past, mails were sent to Dialog e-mail addresses that were no
longer valid and so the notifications were missed. To rectify this,
we were hoping to avoid personalised e-mail addresses in the
MAINTAINERS file (and at the same time avoid putting individual
entries for all our drivers).

This single e-mail address will deliver a message to all the developers
who can contribute to all the drivers. This support.opensource
address does not allow us to send e-mails, so we will be replying with
our personal accounts.

I have this wrong then, it is not a 'mailing-list' and so it should not be
identified as "L:". I will replace this with "M:" and then resubmit this
as a PATCH on Monday.. if there are no further comments by then.

We will still add our personal e-mails to individual files, but we were
hoping that by adding the support.opensource address to just the
MAINTAINERS file, this would allow us to catch developer changes at
our side.

Regards,
Steve
