I think that the "thanks applied" feedback that occurs on netdev is quite useful, as is the kind of automated feedback that goes on from Andrew Morton's scripts in mm. To be honest I find it quite frustrating when other maintainers in other arenas just silently drop/ignore/apply-later (who knows which, or when?). By all means I think that streamlining processes is good. But if a change could be made to patchwork allow the "thanks applied" feedback to continue, that would be doubly good. -- Simon Horman VA Linux Systems Japan K.K., Sydney, Australia Satellite Office H: www.vergenet.net/~horms/ W: www.valinux.co.jp/en
