Acceptance needs to be watched for by the author by fetching Junio's nightly updates, and seeing if your patch made it into next, or into pu, or not at all. If it isn't there after a couple of days and if you have also not received a rejection notice indicating why it was not applied, it probably got dropped. A polite reminder would then be OK. -- Shawn.
