Assuming you would like me to *find* your patches, it would not hurt :) Yesterday I was out of the office unexpectedly -- for one day. When I downloaded my emails today, I was greeted by 85 (eighty five) emails just in my INBOX (needing my personal attention). It took me more than eight hours to wade through them, handling each one to its merit -- some quickly, some very carefully. After eight hours, I've now reached my edk2-devel folder, with ~40 unread messages. At the top, there is your message, with subject [edk2] [PATCH 0/2] Update UNIXGCC toolchain and make it work again Given that neither your blurb subject says OvmfPkg, nor was I CC'd as OvmfPkg co-maintainer, in general I would have blissfully slid over your email. However, in Thunderbird's threaded view, I noticed that Jordan responded, which made me slightly curious, and I started reading your email. That's when I found the OVMF mention at the bottom, and saw the OvmfPkg/ paths in the diffstat. And then you expect me to hunt down your un-threaded patches, scattered all over my (obviously) threaded edk2-devel folder. Are you serious? :) If you follow the rules, you waste a little bit of your time, and save the maintainers time. If you ignore the rules, you save time for yourself, and waste the maintainers' time. There are more contributors than maintainers. Please do the math.
