I'd just like to point out that committing patches is easy. The hard (and time consuming) bit is identifying, rejecting, fixing and/or making constructive comments on all the bogus patches. The are lots of patches that fall into this latter category, e.g. patches that have clearly only ever been tested on x86 targets. It doesn't take any special privileges to do this patch review. Paul
