People sometimes ignore your messages repeatedly, right?
And Linus is _human too_. Why _demand_ him to answer?

But we can _ask nicely_. :-) I'd put it this way:

Hi Linus!

I want to inform you that lots of folks here
would like to know what do you think about kbuild25:

* "I'll merge it later, not now" or
* "I won't merge it because ....." or
* other?
