Subject: [PATCH] doc: remove confusing command to send patch
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2023 18:26:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231010162635.755975-1-thomas@monjalon.net> (raw)
In the contributor guide, it was said that no need to Cc maintainers
for new additions, probably for new directories not having a maintainer.
There is no harm, and it is a good habit, to always Cc maintainers.
Remove this case as it can mislead to not Cc maintainers when needed.
