Well, if you want a ATM patch added, you need to send it to the ATM maintainer (but I don't know if there is one right now or not.) And if you want a USB driver added to the USB tree, you need to send it to the USB maintainer. So cross-posting to all of these lists is probably a good idea :) greg k-h
