The golden rule is that the code must have been seen by somone else before you merge, are translated there must be an acked-by or reviewed-by on each of the patches. If you look at ths page: https://people.freedesktop.org/~seanpaul/whomisc.html You can see that a lot of people commit their own code in drm-misc. Example: Daniel Vetter , (authored=159 committed=249 self_committed=153) There is only a few patches written by Daniel that is committed by someone else. And all patches committed by Daniel carries an a-b or -rb by someone else. > Though, I might not even qualify for drm-misc rights anyway, > considering I haven't been very active in this area... :/ > > On that note, I will probably need help with the merging, provided it's > still happenning. Will you be able to help me out with this? If the challenge is only to push the patches to drm-misc-next there is a lot of people that can help you. I would be happy to do so, but would need a resend as I have deleted the patches from my inbox. I could dig the pathces out somewhere else, but a fresh rebase would be preferred. Sam
