Quoting myself upthread:

'Ideally angstrom developers review a patch and post a "ready to commit" 
one for review on the stable branch mailinglist.
If you don't use angstrom, or even no distro at all, you post your 
(hopefully "ready to commit") patch to the stablebranch mailinglist.
The main point is that your patch applies cleanly and has been tested 
before you post it (unless it's an RFC).'

Again quoting myself from upthread:

"If you think you have patches that should get applied to the 
stablebranch, please post them for review on the stablebranch 
mailinglist. I can't speak for other developers, but I aim for a "same 
day review" timeframe."

I have seen *one* patch being posted to the mailinglist with the 
[Review] flag, that was reviewed within 24 hours and committed soon 
thereafter. So the system works as defined.
So far the stable branch people have a defined system that has been 
extensively, publically RFC'ed and agreed upon that delivers on its 
promises.

Links to patches aren't patches. Bugzilla spam that might link to 
patches aren't patches. Talk about mails that haven't appeared isn't 
patches.

Whatever, do as you like.
