While I just occasional work with OpenEmbedded I have to remark that I have two patches patches published which didn't make it into the repository the last months: 1. posted to this list (adds htmldoc) 2. in bugzilla (fixes php 5 compile) I can live with that, just using my private branch. But having gotten no comments what's wrong with those patches I think this shows that either way doesn't work at the moment. And --- if you want my opinion --- it's much easier for me to monitor my comments in bugzilla or search patches there.
