I can take a look at the changes. However, the patches were sent
directly To: me for patches related MIPS and no one else except the
linux-usb linux-mips (without Thomas), which doesn't look right.

I'm not familiar with the MIPS subsystem, but typically for the USB
mailing list, we capture all the emails generated from get_maintainer.pl
and include them To: and Cc: should they need attention to the changes.
Often we filter our emails based on whether it's directed toward us, at
least I do that. Also, we can't be sure if everyone still subscribes to
the corresponding mailing list.

Then that's good. If the MIPS maintainer approves all the MIPS related
changes and already pick them up, there should be no problem.
