Every problem can be solved with another layer of... Please: just replace all instances with plain old "Adam Fritzler" and then ensure that the lookup key "Adam Fritzler" has an accurate (and non-duplicated anywhere else!) entry in MAINTAINERS or CREDITS or whatever. btw, I cheerfully skipped all your spelling-fixes patches. Some will have stuck via subsystem maintainers but I have a secret "no spelling fixes unless they're end-user-visible" policy. That means I'll take spelling fixes only if they're in printks or in Documentation/*. This is a little defense mechanism to avoid getting buried in micropatches. I'd suggest that you find out if Adrian is still running the trivial tree and if so, patchbomb him.
