I sent a v3 patch for the firewire subsystem [2] and a v5 patch series for the acpi/irqchip subsystems [3]. During the process I've received comments and suggestions about my work but now these two threads have no responses in three weeks. When I've send patches to the staging area if they have no responses, in a few days I received a mail from Greg to tell me that the specific patch had been applied to one of the branches of his git tree. Now, what it's the correct workflow out of the staging area? Are these patches in a process of been applied or have they been forgotten? Do I need to insist? And how?
