This is long overdue.  Our maintainers are a finite resource and if we
can't even take basic steps to filter them from ground level noise, then
we are letting them down, and then eventually suffering the consequences.

I've watched far too many of these go by on lkml and thought "oh look,
there goes another one".  Not ideal.

I don't think I've ever Ack'd a patch I've not been Cc'd on but this is
different.  It isn't about me -- it is about what we've all seen on lkml.

So...
