Heh, I don't even have them in my tree any more, I was assuming that if they were good they'd be sent back to me... I guess I can go fish them out from my old emails, but I actually was expecting to just get them from you. I do actually maintain my own branches for *some* things, and merge them myself, but they tend to be for areas that I feel I'm co-maintaining (ie notably vfs and mm that I still feel I'm involved in). In other areas, I may send out patches, but I don't feel like I'm a maintainer, so I then think that "the real maintainer can decide if these patches are good or not". And I would very much hope that people don't take said patches _just_ because they come from me. They should be judged on their own merits, and then occasionally people can mutter "Christ, what drugs is Linus on _today_?" and just throw my patches in the garbage. Linus
