Or during the week of Plumber's Conference... or LSF/MM... or the
during the Kernel Summit... or if they are in transit to
Linux.conf.au.... sometimes a patch submitter won't get feedback
right away. It's nothing personal.
With all due respect to Steven, I think he over-reacted a little with
his "maintainer abuse" reply. Most of the time people won't get
"yelled" at if they send patches at the wrong time. And what's wrong
for one maintainer will be right for another, and vice versa.
