I don't send netdev patches to Linus except under unusual circumstances. 
I'd expect these patches to go upstream via John or Jeff.

Nope, I'll just drop then when they appear in a git tree.

And I really need to find a way of getting git-wireless into -mm.  Problem
is, it's based off git-netdev-all and when John's tree is synced to a later
version of Linus's tree than Jeff's tree, all hell breaks loose at my end. 
Junio and I weren't able to work out a way of extracting the jeff->john
diffs so I gave up.

Probably, I'll need to actually do a git merge, generate the diff then
throw away the resulting git tree.  Or something.  I've avoided doing git
merges because I'm dealing with 58 trees and I suspect I'd go insane.

Because I don't carry git-wireless I don't have visibility of when John has
merged something.  Ordinarily you'd have seen me drop the patches again
when they popped up in John's tree.
