I think you should take it as: between the 291 - sorry, 300 by now - other patches, this series has been overlooked. Again, if you have ideas that can help to reduce the backlog from 300 to, say, 30: everybody will be glad to hear it! Well, except if your idea is to stop sending patches of course. > If you're implying i don't help in other aspects and i just care about what i > send i suggest you take a look at lots of autobuilder fixes for packages i never > use. That's why I mentioned that 92% of the patches you submitted have already been applied. The other buildroot contributors really appreciate the work you do. And share your frustration that too many patches tend to linger, and need to be rebased all the time. In fact, Thomas and Peter have the additional frustration that all of their time is taken up by applying other people's patches, leaving no time to work on their own ideas.
