Yes, past merge windows I was not able to help on the thermal subsystem
maintenance, which I do, btw, in my free time.
If you want to sponsor that, feel free to contact me in private.

*Also, not that there are TWO maintainers in the thermal subsystem, and Rui
was notified of my absence. And I am pretty sure he would take care of
patches in case you properly called his attention.*

Yup, if you do not copy me in e-mails that you want my attention, it's
hard to respond. I suppose if you want to remove a tree of a volunteer,
it would be fair if you at least copy him/her :-)

Not sure if you noticed, but the BRCM driver you pinged me in linux-pm
is also already merge in my tree and will be sent in the next merge
window as notified over email:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/evalenti/linux-soc-thermal.git/log/?h=linus

Hope that helps and also clarifies.
