As far as I understood from a previous asking to accept a patch through Stephen, he answered me that he is expecting that patches for sub-trees shall be pushed by the sub-maintainer(s). This is surely the optimal way. There is a nice, informative interview with Stephen on topic of linux-next [1] (working together with submaintainers etc.). Unfortunately, it will sometimes happen that more than one people will notice or send a patch to the same issue. So, yeah a bit waste of time someone could think. Thus, it is always good to check the MLs first :-). But which MLs? It's a pity people don't use linux-next ML for l-n releated stuff. As a consequence, I subscribed a few hours ago to linux-next ML [2] and will post primarily there (LKML should IMHO not be the 1st place for such issues, but a CC is OK). The subjects of Emails should be very clear on what type of issue. For example, breakage(s) shoul be clearly expressed. Also, I miss often against WTF version of linux-next ppl send patches. Hey, hello, each l-n version has a localversion-next file, didn't see :-)? A good subject: "Re: linux-next: Tree for December 20 (BROKEN iwlwifi)" or "linux-next: next-20101220 (BROKEN iwlwifi)" That a GIT tree is compile-able is a (maybe *the*) first step to QA, but QA is a big playground. Hmm, I have some ideas in my big suitcase... The wiki [1] needs partly a refresh... An IRC-channel #linux-next would be fine... Lemme re-think and write them down. - Sedat - P.S.: Personally, I have seen some patches from Randy and others which were still not applied.
