I am fine this way too - it will just take some time for me to get ready as I 
will need to get my GPG key signed by some kernel developers first (that's what 
I forgot to do during the last LinuxCon!). I know a few here so it should not 
be too hard to get them drunk and sign my key, but I don't expect to be ready 
for the 3.7 merge window. Would anybody be concerned by this delay? By the 
meantime I can also make a branch available somewhere.
