I am extremely disappointed in the lack of respinsiveness of Karsten
to ISDN patches.  He wants to handle them, but he has effectively
disappeared during the most critical time for patch integration, which
is during the merge window.

If he's busy in life or whatever, that's fine, but in such a case he
should appoint someone to handle ISDN patches until he does have time.

And if no ISDN expert is available, Tilman's suggestion of letting
me integrate the patches should be taken.
