You have noticed that you are defending yourself. You should also
notice that having to send a lot of emails to get a patch in would have
tendency to prevent people from even bothering to send patches.
The focus should be on the code, listing your work history is
not a good defense of the code that is there.
We can include a "Thank You for getting things working in bad
conditions" with the patch if it makes it go in any smoother.
If you read the lkml for any amount of time you will notice
that resends, follow-ups, insults, and bruised egos are all
part of the game of getting a patch in.
