Grammatical error in message

[SiebrenW]

The line
Who do I send my contribution to?
should be
Whom do I send my contribution to?
It mostly caught my attention because it was a header, but in case you think you made more of these errors; here's the rules: https://www.grammarbook.com/grammar/whoVwhom.asp

I mean I suppose if we were to get really picky, "To whom do I send my contribution?" IDK, I'm not sure if the correct grammar matches regular usage... Thoughts Andrew?

I personally think that "who" fits modern usage among the native en_AU speakers I hang around with, even if it's not "technically" correct according to the grammar books. "Whom" has mostly disappeared from the modern English vocabulary.

I actually think that "Where do I send my contribution" would be better.

Yeah, I think Where is the way to go. Thanks for pointing this out, Siebren.

Either "To whom do I..?" or "Whom do I ... to?" is correct.
Though as ajd says: "Where to" might be more appropriate, because the description specifies the mailing lists and not sending to the maintainer him/herself.

Yeah, I think Where is the way to go. Thanks for pointing this out, Siebren.

I honestly prefer the internet had fewer language butchers, so you're doing me a favour haha.

[ajdlinux]

Yeah, I think "where" makes more sense as I conceptualise sending a kernel patch as sending to a mailing list (a "place") rather than to individual maintainers.

Will update accordingly.
