Really? What exactly do you think is special about the structure of my tree? I require patches to be on dri-devel (I pick them up from the patchwork instance at freedesktop.org), the tree is publicly available and reviewed-by tags get picked up automatically by patchwork. The panel tree works exactly like any other maintainer tree. And my review is *not* the only one that counts. I appreciate every Reviewed-by tag I see on panel patches because it means that I don't have to look as closely as I have to otherwise. It is true that I am responsible for those patches, that's why I get to have the final word on whether or not a patch gets applied. And that's no different from any other maintainer tree either. > As is, I'm stuck out here with my panel driver I submitted on December > 14th completely ignored, and no other developer will look at it because > their review doesn't count and only yours does. That's the same lame excuse as above. Nobody's keeping you or anyone else from reviewing panel patches. The truth is that reviewing code is hard and time-consuming, and that's why nobody can be bothered to do it. That has nothing whatsoever to do with how any specific maintainer operates. > I would love for drm-panel to be moved under -misc. Like that's going to magically motivate people to spend their time reviewing other patches. The only thing that group maintainership adds is redundancy.
