Don't you love it when people ask you to do things, yet never even cc:
you on an email and still expect you to magically notice and respond to
them?

{sigh}

You got lucky here, I happened to notice this email, but I have no email
from you to me where you asked me to do anything.

As I told you before, you need to repackage up patches you want to have
applied and send them to me, that's the job of a subsystem maintainer,
you can't just "expect" someone else to magically notice them and apply
them for you.
