Sorry for the delay, I spent too much time migrating workers yesterday
to look at the list.

No need to resend, I'll revive it in patchwork. At least for now contest
keeps retesting the patches so we'll see in ~4h if all is good now.

About catching iproute - yes, we could so something similar to what we
do with netdev patches. Gather everything up from the list. Do basic
sanity checking of the patches. And make a "testing" version of
iproute2. A matter of having the time to do it :( Maybe the iproute2
maintainers would be willing to help?... :)
