So you don't expect to every have your 500 patches merged?

What might help is that you ask for help getting them merged. I know
of at least 4 groups of people interested in your devlink and 10G PHY
code. If you handed those patches over to these people, i'm sure we
could find somebody to post them to the list, deal with the feedback,
etc, to get them merged. It just needs you to say it is O.K. for
somebody to take patches from your git tree.

You are great at writing new code, but terrible at getting it
merged. So try to find somebody who you trust, who you can hand the
patches over to, to do the merge work.
