Guys, I am just trying to better cope with an amount of patches I can't handle on my own currently. My strategy to get more people involved is divide and conquer, e.g. look for people willing to maintain a single driver. That makes the "trust matrix" kind of complex. So, I still do think I can improve where to put my always-too-limited efforts by documenting where I put it in the past. I can keep track of that differently than a R-b tag, that is fine with me. I never had the intention of sneaking out of responsibility and I only sign patches I am sure they are ready to be upstreamed. This discussion exists because I want to keep this state.
