It happens that Andrew forwards patches from me in -mm 5 or 10 times to a maintainer until he gets any reaction from the maintainer. Before I'd start the same with trivial patches, it would be easier to change the "trivial@kernel.org" mail alias to point to Andrew so that trivial patches can also become part of his "forward patches to maintainers again and again until there's any reaction" process. That's not meant as a threat or anything like that, it's a serious suggestion to avoid duplicated work. > Jeff cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
