Hmm I don't really like that, to me it makes the sentence a lot harder
to read. How about this simplified version instead (i.e., drop "by
default", and the semicolon):

"an announcement email is sent to the edk2-devel mailing list by Liming Gao"

?

Thanks!
Laszlo

Re: [edk2-wiki PATCH] release planning: announce the soft and hard feature freezes

[Kinney, Michael D]

Perhaps we should update Maintainers.txt with some lines
that identify the developers that are currently assigned
to the release/release planning role.  That way, the Wiki
can reference Maintainters.txt and we can update
Maintainers.txt as the assignments change over time.

Thanks,

Mike

This is a great idea!

Recently, Liming posted a patch:

Maintainers.txt: Update EDK II Releases to EDK-II-Release-Planning wiki

it updates the "EDK II Releases" section in Maintainers.txt. The patch
hasn't been pushed yet.

Liming, can you submit a v2 of that patch, such that it adds you with an
"M" role for the  "EDK II Releases" section? Then, I could update the
wiki patch using a reference to Maintainers.txt.

Thanks!
Laszlo

Re: [edk2-wiki PATCH] release planning: announce the soft and hard feature freezes

[Gao, Liming]

Yes. I have sent V2 patch for Maintainers.txt. Please review.
