My role as maintainer is a little different than others. As I have a private 
broadband connection with only 1 Mbps upload, it is not practical for me to 
operate a git server. I used to have an account at kernel.org, but I lost it 
after the break-in there. As I have never met face-to-face with another Linux 
developer, I have had no chance to have my credentials signed, so that resource 
is unavailable. As a result, I ACK or NACK patches and they are picked up by 
John Linville for drivers in the regular wireless tree, and Greg Kroah-Hartman 
for the staging drivers.

Yes, that is OK.

These do really need to be split a little. There must be at least one patch for 
the wireless tree, and a second for staging. In fact, I prefer the way they are 
with one for each driver.
