No, you're the one who's consistently been under the assumption that it
doesn't apply to you.

You've got a history of applying patches to code that I maintain without
even CCing the list, let alone myself, and introducing silent data
corruption bugs into code that I wrote, without CCs, which I then had to
debug, and then putting up absolutely ridiculous fights to get fixed.

That's the sort of thing that process is supposed to avoid. To be clear,
you and Christoph are the two reasons I've had to harp on process in the
past - everyone else in the kernel has been fine.

As I said before, I'm not trying to bypass you without communicating -
but this has gone completely off the rails.
