Yes, because you have not done anything and you are just repeating those
nonsenses. What are you expecting? You are either doing all this on
purpose or you are just lazy and think that somebody (e.g. me) would do
this stuff.

Perfect. And may you explain why you have not tried to contact them with
addressed requests of exact information of what you need and ask for
help? You wrote tons of emails with zero value.

I'm not your servant and I'm not going to play role of your secretary.

Then read your message again. Now it is more clear that you are doing
it on purpose.

I hope that I do not have to explain you how to find contact address in
MAINTAINERS file, how to write an addressed email for target audience,
how to formulate questions and how to ask for information. And how to do
it in _one_ message.
