Timing has a lot to do with expected feedback for these sorts of things.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] exists to handle the rest of the bits, where Adrian has a tendency to queue up many trivial and related patches at once, and sending out pull requests at a time where it will be less disruptive to the rest of development. You might be better off simply CC'ing trivial@ on these patch submissions and routinely checking the trivial git tree to see whether they've been queued or not. However, if you're changing or reordering functionality that isn't an obvious bugfix, you're still going to have to get an ack from the maintainer. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
