Was cc'ed to linux-net last Thursday, but it looks like the messages was
too large and the vger server munched it.

As mentioned in the email, you want netdev, not linux-net...

This also brings up a larger question... why was a completely unreviewed
net driver merged?

Because nobody noticed that it didn't make it to the mailing list,
obviously.

That's ducking the question.  Let me rephrase.

Why was a complete lack of response judged to be an ACK?

For new drivers, that's a -horrible- precedent.  You are quite skilled 
at poking random hackers :)  why not poke somebody to ack a new drivers? 
  It's not like this driver (or many of the other new drivers) 
desperately need to get into the kernel ASAP, so desperate that a lack 
of review was OK.

we are currently thinking about changing the sign-off chain for the s390
network patches. Dave suggested that they should go through your hands.
If that is ok with you the new sign-off chain would be Frank Pavlic,
Jeff Garzik, Bitkeeper. This would solve two problems:
1) Frank would create the patches and since he knows much more about
   linux networking then I do, hopefully the patches and the descriptions
   will improve (and you can probably teach him to send the patches to
   netdev instead of linux-net).
2) The patches won't just slip in anymore but get a real review.

That's not uncommon.  I don't ask people "are you reading the mailing list
which you should be reading" unless I think it's someone who doesn't read
the mailing lists which they should be reading.

In this case I didn't think about it very hard, sorry - figured it was s390
stuff and it hence falls under the "if it breaks, it's the s390 team's
problem" exemption.

True.  But it's not as if we can't fix stuff up after it's merged up.  The
reasons for holding off on a merge would be:

a) We're not sure that the feature should be merged at all

b) Holding off on a merge is a tool we use to motivate the submitter to
   fix the code up

c) The merge breaks existing stuff.

I don't think any of those things apply here.  The only downside is the
increased bk patch volume.

That being said, if there had been review comments I would have delayed the
merge.

Just out of curiosity: why are there two mailing lists?  Especially if
one of them is the Wrong One.

Yeah, and I -am- sympathetic to that sort of thing.  I just feel really 
strongly that we need to have a higher-than-normal barrier for new code.

It may be an S/390 driver, but Jeff's Law of Bad Code states "where 
there is bad code, it will be copied."  Propagating the 2.2.x-era 
'tbusy' flag to yet more drivers is something I absolutely do not want 
to happen.

I also feel that we have shifted from a "Linus doesn't scale" problem to 
an "akpm doesn't scale" problem.  As much work as you put it (lots!), 
you can't possibly be expected to review all the new drivers and such.

I would prefer a "new driver must be acked by at least one non-author" 
rule.  We need -some- barrier to entry.  If that rule is OK with others, 
I'm quite willing to do that for my areas like libata.

In general, I have supported your philosophy of accelerated upstreaming 
of code.  I just worry about going too far, and this driver was a 
case-in-point.

As Linus and others have pointed out many times in the past, there is no 
harm in -not- upstreaming code until it is "ready."  Our current system 
of maintainers/lieutenants is sufficiently distributed as to allow this.

That's OK with me.  As an example, on the MIPS side of things, Ralf 
sends most MIPS stuff straight to Linus, but I queue all his 
drivers/net/* patches into my queue, and that gets submitted separately 
(though just as rapidly) upstream with other net driver changes.

I certainly do recognize that qeth, in particular, is a network driver 
unlike all others in the kernel ;-)

linux-net is mostly dead.  I get the impression it is occasionally used 
by users.

netdev (as, perhaps, the name implies) is where the network developers 
hang out.

Ok, I figured as much.  But then, why is linux-net not just deleted?
Bouncing mails would be an indication that noone will read them,
right?

Ok then, lets make it so. Frank creates the patches and sends them to
Jeff. Less work for me, I certainly like it :-))

At least it weakens your position when you state "Random newbie John
Doe failed to pick the correct list, so I never saw his requests for
review."

And yes, I'd like to see linux-net either used, removed or simply
forwarded to netdev.

Use netdev as the mailing list contact instead of the mostly dead
