Hi,

I have quite a lot of random cleanup patches from new developers waiting
in my queue:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/?state=10&delegate=25621&order=date

(Not all of them are cleanup patches, there are also few patches
deferred due to other reasons, but you get the idea.)

These cleanup patches usually take quite a lot of my time and I'm
starting to doubt the benefit, compared to the time needed to dig
through them and figuring out what to apply. And this is of course time
away from other patches, so it's slowing down "real" development.

I really don't know what to do. Part of me is saying that I just should
drop them unless it's reviewed by a more experienced developer but on
the other hand this is a good way get new developers onboard.

What others think? Are these kind of patches useful?
