There is really high volume of various kind of patches on linux-media
mailing lists. Even with those pull requests it becomes hard for Mauro
to respond and merge patches in timely manner. There is even a discussion 
related to this scheduled for media workshop during ELCE/LinuxCon. I think 
the rules may differ slightly across kernel subsystems, hence I find nothing 
unusual in using pull requests, especially by sub-subsystem maintainers or
developers.

Sylwester
