Re: [GIT PULL v2] Update LZO compression

["Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer" <markus@oberhumer.com>]

Hi all,

is there some official maintainer who feels responsible for
pushing the LZO update to Linus?

Otherwise I also could issue a pull-request on github, but somehow I
don't think that this is the preferred workflow.

Cheers,
Markus
